Let that Baby LIVE got dawget!

"Breaking karmic cycles and healing intergenerational traumas by redefining parenting through the lives of our little ones."

Nurture that beautiful melanted/mahogany baby while you can….because the world won't.

Be honest and ask yourself are you raising your child in a way that will cultivate a Spirit full of love and compassion or learned helplessness and resentment.

Being a conscious and more intentional parent is stepping up and being the role model for your children so they don't go seeking refuge from outsiders that could possibly be detrimental to their growth as an individual. Children are so resilient they can go through a trauma and wake up the next day and start anew. We need to listen and learn from our children.

Stop overcompensating, that baby is gonna be fine. I want to give you some ways to help you find comfort in letting go of the leash you have around your child’s neck. They are not your property. Nothing is ever owned, only borrowed. We are all born on this earth with free will and that includes our children yet we still let the effects of post traumatic slave syndrome and societal pressures dictate how we raise our children. Stop letting your environment project it’s standards on you and your family. Don’t let your child become a product of dysfunction and unresolved intergenerational traumas of fear, rejection, inferiority and abandonment.

Black Parents please stop forcing them to grow up too fast whatever that looks like to you. At what point are you to old to play, have imagination and express your feelings freely. Honor their feelings so they can learn to do it for themselves. Think of your own childhood and how you really wanted to play the games at the little kid parties but all of a sudden you hit the "too old" cool threshold and could no longer hit the piñata, do pretend play or act silly. Huh, really?! That's how you start to drain the color out of their spirit.

Also, stop relying and depending passively on your children to save you; in turn putting unnecessary anxiety and pressure into their psyches. Let go of learned helplessness and victim mentality. Let them live their own lives, they were not put on this earth to serve you. They didn’t even ask to be here, let go of your expectations and attachments of what they SHOULD become(based on societal norms and eurocentric standards) and give them the opportunity to blossom into whatever they are destined to be. You set the foundation built with love and hammered with support but ultimately they build the house with the tools you passed down to them.

Follow your own passions so you don't feel the need to become this sacrificial lamb in order to provide for them. You have a spirit that need to be uplifted as well. Redefine what is means to be a "good parent" to better serve the life YOU want as well. Remember a life in misery is a life in vain. Unless you feel like being a parent is your sole purpose then by all means...if you like it I love it! But if not break the cycle.

These babies are multifaceted beings and need support and guidance as the go through their own trial and error. We learn from experience, exploration and modeling best. So, squash that "do as I say and not as I do shit" and practice what you muthafreakin preach! Also, think twice before whipping your children that's learned violence. I'm learning patience and compassion myself. We are not perfect but we can thrive to do our utmost best to cultivate a generation of beautifully melanted humans.
