Customer Reviews
Awesome support system for my brown babies
Great guests, love the delivery, and the lessons with each podcast. So many nuggets to learn from. A must for mamas with brown babies in mostly white schools.
Books for Black and Brown children
Thanks for today’s episode. As a grandmother who loves books it was great to hear about the inspiration for each of Dorena’s books. I look forward to picking up a few to have in our family library.
J. Anthony Cruz
As a parent of brown children while living in a predominantly white neighborhood, I must say the perspective Shanera offers on Brown Mama Bear is truly valuable and so needed within our culture. Shanera’s insight on the subject comes from a deep and authentic place. Super excited to hear more episodes!
