Parenting is a Radical Act

For my first full-length episode, I wanted to start with something big picture. I know Desiree from her incredible work, but her work doesn't focus on parenthood. I asked her to come talk about a comment she had made at a live event, and she did not disappoint.

We cover Desiree's experience with motherhood ("No one said it was going to be easy.") and how her family modeled that for her, how she set boundaries with her family over how she raised her kids, how patriarchy affects how we regard motherhood, and more.

I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as I did.

• You can learn more about Desiree and her work at The Adaway Group.
• I have personally taken her Diversity is an Asset and Social Justice Intensive courses.
• Freedom School and Sister Summer are happening now.
• And everyone should get her amazing card deck. It makes a great gift!
