RaisiN' Black Daughters
from Flesh 'N Bold
In this third episode of Flesh ‘N Bold, we explore more about how Black daughters are raised in America and how it is different from raising Black sons. Again we turn to our own parents to shed light on how they approached this. Also, it’s Kentucky Derby season and since Nia was born in Kentucky, we talk about the controversial song and why this and other things prompted our family to leave the state. Tune in and find out!
