Excerpt
We have inherited some very negative patterns from our oppressors....Due to our history of enslavement, we have inherited many toxic patterns of behaviour and thought due to our history of enslavement. And we have passed down these toxic patterns from one generation to the next. But now we have a chance to change this.
The more you honour the person who you really are, the more you listen to your inner voice and follow its guidance, the more you will be able to be the kind of resourceful, empowering parent you want to be.
There are many positive benefits which we derive from our families. And our families need to become even more of a resource. We have survived four hundred years of slavery and oppression because of the strength of the Black family. From this source, we can derive a lot of love, warmth and affection, and we learn the basic skills for survival.
