Season 2 Episode 7: Mothering the Revolution with Trina Greene Brown at Allied Media Conference 2017

Chicana Motherwork

In this special mini-episode, Cecilia Caballero from Chicana M(other)work teamed up with Trina Greene Brown, Black feminist mama-activist and founder of Parenting for Liberation, for a panel titled "Mothering the Revolution" at the Allied Media Conference 2017. The podcast begins with a dedication to the memory of Black mothers killed by police, Charleena Lyles and Megan Marie Hockaday, and we honor their spirits that guide our visions for justice. Ceci and Trina share their reflections about moderating their AMC session, including the shared role of digital storytelling in our respective projects and some challenges such as the difficulty of solidarity-building between parents and caregivers of color and white allies. Then, participants from the AMC session discuss their thoughts about what Mothering the Revolution means to them. We share tips, strategies, affirmations, resources, our fears, laughs, and more.
