Talking Transracial Adoption with Adoptee Coach Angela Tucker
I'm chatting with Angela Tucker (@angieadoptee) about her experience growing up as a black adoptee with white parents, and the importance of white parents of black children to provide education and mentoring from black adults. We also talk about the disparity of black children in foster care, the distrust of law enforcement and social services, and the nuances of transnationally adopted kids being both immigrants from their home country and Black Americans. She has a ton of wisdom to share. . . .
The New “Mom Jean” | On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from August 2009.
On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from August 2009. The New "Mom Jean" I went shopping for jeans the other day, and I'm still reeling by some uncomfortable revelations. My shopping quest started because I decided it was time to venture out from my hoodie-and-yoga-pants uniform that I wear pretty much every day. I decided it was time for a little self-care. I'm still young and hip, right? I need a young and hip outfit. I started my adventure . . .
Wednesday’s Child: Meet Lashawna!
Every Wednesday I feature a child recently highlighted by a local Wednesday's Child newscast to share the stories of children from around the country who are waiting for a family. My hope is that this can broaden exposure for the children highlighted, but also serve as a reminder that these children represent thousands of children currently in the foster-care system. Perhaps their stories will inspire you to consider opening your home to a child needing a family. For more information and to . . .

Life Lately
View this post on Instagram "I can't win." "It's never good enough." These are defeatist narratives I am hearing from white people who are dipping their toes into speaking about race for the first time, and finding it to be complex and nuanced and maybe not as easy as they'd hoping. I'm talking about the aspects of privilege that are bubbling up in these kinds of statements, from our belief that black voices should be a . . .

Recovery mode | On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from August 2009.
On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from August 2009. We said goodbye to my nephews yesterday. We had such a great time with them. We are slowly recovering from our two-week run of hosting family. We showed them all the best sites in OC (pretty much a repeat of all of the places we took my sister). Then we spent a long weekend lazing around the pool in Palm Springs. It was so much fun, but now I'm dealing with a serious vacation hangover. Today I was determined to "get . . .
