Absolutely. There's no prerequisite to taking this course and taking action.

Even though all families who value liberation come together in solidarity, sometimes our racial wounds and ancestral healings can be different.

For racialized White caregivers, you'll dive deep into privilege, power, position, along with guilt and shame. You'll take a compassionate take on this self-reflection and mobilize guilt into action that aligns with your values and parenting practices.

For racialized Black, Indigenous, Mixed-Race, and parents of color, you're invited to create space to be with your collective grief, rage, exhaustion along with hope, gratitude, and compassion. All of your emotions are welcomed here. Once you're ready to mobilize into action, you'll explore ways to be in relationship with the ancestral, historical, and present racial wounds. So that you can enter the conversation about race with your child from a grounded place. Then, you'll explore ways to both honor the real survival part of the talk and bring pride and resistance to the conversation. This way racial pride, ancestral resilience, and the oppression that's alive and well now can co-exist in the conversation in ways that don't overwhelm your child's development.

I’m so glad you asked. You can expect reasonable safety, discomfort, body-based centering exercise, child development discussion, and anti-oppression parenting application.

You’ll practice the signature 4S's of Conversation Building Blocks, the Baby Shark Doo Doo, the OWL, and the Olivia Pope techniques so that you can make the race talk safe for your child's understanding and development.

You'll have the following bonuses as well:

A quick audio mindfulness guide for your social justice imposter syndrome

A mini training on Top 5 Race Talk Questions and Answers

A mini training on "Social Justice Fried Rice"

Our signature 4S's Conversation Starter Guide

A Developmental Readiness Cheat sheet

A Conversation Follow-Up Guide

Each lesson is broken down into various videos that are under 10 minutes.

Each lesson comes in an audio format with a transcript that you can download and keep, too.

The total course length is 1 hour and 35 minutes.

Lastly, you'll have lifetime access to the course.

Welcome, co-strugglers! I’m so glad you’re here. For liberation to blossom, we need all hands on deck.

I’ll provide resources to firm up the foundation you need for the program even though there’s no prerequisite to register for the program.

This way you can be the role model your child needs to become our future socially conscious generation. Cheers to that legacy!

I'm so glad you're on top of this. I'm available for extra support via email, nat@comebacktocare.com. Please allow me 1-3 business days to reply to you with care and lovingkindness.

Thank you for asking! These are my qualifications also known as the reasons I've never seen a Beyonce concert live.
