    Episode 87: Parenting Perfectionists: Helping Your Child Embrace Grace & Perspective when Pursuing Goals May 02, 2026
    Show notes

    Type A. Alpha. #BlackExcellence. Goal Getter.

    These identities are often desired and celebrated in Black culture. Many of us in our liberated parenting community identify as these on some level. We also encourage our children to drive for greatness as well. At times, however, this drive can include achievement’s problematic twin: Perfectionism.

    In this episode, Trina Greene and Ivory Parnell-Chambeshi discuss the ways that perfectionism shows up in our children and ourselves. They discuss typical perfectionist behaviors, how they affect our well-being, as well as, the origins, which are found in Black people’s oppression and effort to survive. The co-hosts also share their experiences dealing with perfectionism, how they see it in their children and ways they try to pounce on perfectionism!

    This episode is presented with audio and video option! So listen in or see us In Living Color! Feel free to comment about your own journey with perfectionism below or email us as podcast@parentingforliberation.org.

    Episode 85: Baddies & YNs: Black Parenting and Remixed Negative Stereotypes of Black Youth Apr 13, 2026
    Show notes

    In this episode, Trina Greene welcomes Ivory Parnell-Chambeshi, as a guest co-host to kick-off the 2026 season of the podcast. In this heartfelt kitchen table convo seasoned with research data, they chat about the new-yet-old remixed stereotypes that are placed onto Black children to box them into troubled narratives about who they are and what they can become. They discuss the media messages that affect and influence Black youth, including two of the most visible: “Baddie” for girls and “YN” for boys. They also reflect on their own coming-of-age and how media influenced their evolution.

    To uplift Black parents as they take on the big task of parenting children, Trina and Ivory also offer tips for how they and other Black parents can help their children navigate these stereotypes to develop a positive sense of self and the agency to express themselves in fashion and beyond – in an informed, affirming and of course, liberated way.

    Listen in to hear edges snatched, ‘Big Momma’ wisdom, and Black mama vibes!

    Episode 84: Stories in Resistance: Home as Sanctuary for Black Queer Joy Aug 01, 2025
    Show notes

    In this powerful episode, Trina Greene speaks with Seven, a Black queer young adult and creative storyteller. Together, they reflect on the urgency of storytelling and family affirmation in a time marked by rising anti-queer legislation. As external spaces become more threatening, they explore how homes can become sanctuaries of resistance, healing, and freedom.

    Listen to honest reflections on authenticity, identity, chosen family, and why stories at home are as powerful as protest banners in protecting youth. This conversation—part activism, part art, entirely healing—challenges us to imagine what radical care looks like when systems fail us.

    Seven is a born and raised Los Angeles native, and the only openly queer child amongst her family. A visual artist who loves to draw, animate, sculpt but is partial to painting. Outside of art, Seven is passionate about activism. When they are not creating or aiding the community, they are likely reading a book, watching movies or connecting with nature.
