There are a lot of issues that pertain specifically to parents of color. Some of them are just plain physical. When you have a baby and your baby's hair looks like this and there's no information telling you how to take care of hair like this on a baby, that's an issue that we have to deal with that maybe a mom who has straight fine hair does not. My baby's skin was different. It gets ashy. It's rough. There are issues that you have to deal with with putting specific chemicals on their skin. That's something I can't necessarily read about in a book or in a parenting magazine, but it's a reality for every mother who has a black child. Some of the other things we have to deal with as mothers is preparing them for a world that maybe judges them for the color of their skin. So it's a constant conversation. It's about going to the internet and connecting with other mothers and making sure you find that information that you need on how to take care of your baby physically. It's also about connecting with other mothers and talking to them about issues you may have to deal with - having sons that look big and strong and may be scary to somebody else, but you know that they're perfectly lovely kids. Or dealing with a little black girl who may be in a classroom and may be encouraged to dumb down her intelligence or listen to specific music because people think that's what black kids do. It's a constant conversation that you have to have with your children, a constant conversation that you have to have with your mate, a constant conversation that you have to have with yourself to prepare your child for all of the different things that happen to them that may not necessarily happen to other kids.
