How do you raise a Black child in a prejudiced and divided world? What do they need to know about life and when do you need to have ‘the talk’? When is a good time to raise issues around race and your own personal safety? And, as a parent, how do you deal with the pressure of trying to bring up a kid in a society that may not give them the same opportunities as others?
Journalist and academic Marverine Cole hosts a conversation that will explore these crucial questions and more – to get to the bottom of the ‘things I wish my Black parents had told me’.
Joining her will be Stuart Lawrence, the brother of murdered teenager Stephen Lawrence and author of Silence is Not an Option, and Marvyn Harrison, the founder of support group Dope Black Dads and author of Dope Black Dads: Lessons on Fatherhood.
Join us for this riveting discussion that will attempt to traverse the dynamics of being a Black parent.
