The Full Set: Parenting & Discipline While Black & Social Distancing The Full Set

- Society & Culture
Diamond Hill is a birthworker in Northern NJ. She is the parent of 4 daughters. Jaida 14, Naiyma 12, Amina 6 and Nairobi 3. We are a family who believes in raising free black children through gentle parenting, natural parenting and unschooling. Cash.me/carryonnewark | Venmo: @authenticallyDiamond | Zelle: aasiya331@gmail.com Nina Monei currently resides in Seattle where they were born-and-raised; is single mom of one, poor, Black, queer and angry as hell. A former early learning teacher and current children's rights activist/advocate; writer/blogger. Nina loves sushi, rap, R&B, Rihanna, reminding people that Black folks are rightfully angry, and that whites should pay what they owe. Melody Gross: There have been two moments in my life that have changed me. Becoming a single parent and experiencing domestic violence. Both of which I never expected. Life is funny that way. I find the humor in parenting a child who has the personality of a natural comedian. I find purpose in removing the stigma of intimate partner violence. I find passion in both. I’m Harlem born and Charlotte based. I’m loud and outspoken and opinionated (with facts and feelings mixed). I’m always on a path of freedom and what that looks like for me. I’m the mom to the awesome KGB (he’s finally embraced that nickname) and he’s the reason I don’t take any shit and work to dismantle white supremacy. I’m spiritual but not religious. I love to laugh and sometimes cry. I curse a lot.

Dr. Shamell Bell is a mother, community organizer, dancer/choreographer, documentary filmmaker, and professor who received their PhD in Culture and Performance from UCLA’s World Arts and Cultures/Dance department, they are currently teaching at Dartmouth College in the Department of Theater and in the African and African American Studies program. They use street dance as radical joy, healing, and team building and often teaches alongside her nine-year-old son, Seijani, who focuses on meditation and mindfulness. Rish De Terra would first like for everyone to know that her name rhymes with Reesh. Born in the 80s at the height of the crack era in New York City, she was witness to the devastating effects that that period had on black and brown families. Keeping in step with their lack of response at that time, she is watching the American government repeat the same negligence in this current COVID19 sweep. Right before the sweep hit, Rish had finished her first e-book, Root Babies: Healing Our Children with Baths, Teas, and Recipes, which you can find on her site at rootbabies.org. In it, she spells out some child-safe remedies for all kinds of body system challenges, and while we know there is no cure for the disease, it is her hope that the remedies she suggests in the book will soothe the symptoms until they disappear. She is a practitioner of Rootwork and a rabble rouser who wants to flip all this shit over. In the meantime, she’s staying in the house trying to keep her babies, 6 and 3, healthy and entertained while under quarantine. Go cop her book right now at rootbabies.org and send your feedback and questions to rootbabies2020@gmail.com.
