“Digging Deep:: Motherhood & Race Relations in America” Panel Discussion {Video Above}
Throughout the years, Houston Moms has cultivated hundreds of posts on diversity, race, equality, and has not been afraid to have the tough conversations. We are a diverse group of 40+ moms, of all races and sexual orientations. We have white moms, black moms, Asian moms, Latino moms, Indian moms, foster moms, moms of teenagers, moms of elementary school kids, moms of all walks of life. Our points of view are all important. Our diversity is important.
In all of these posts, love shines through the words. All of us have the same goal:: to support moms, no matter the subject. We want you to feel the support that we have for you through our words. We also want you to know that you aren’t alone.
We love you. We hear you.
Our differences are important and should be highlighted. They should be celebrated and honored. We should have the tough conversations with our children so that other mothers don’t have to worry about their children when they walk out the door.
We love our children. We all want our kids to be happy and healthy.
During these very difficult and stressful times, we felt it was important to bring together a panel of five of our incredible and diverse moms to have a very REAL conversation about race and raising kids. It’s deep, it’s intense, and the knowledge they bring to the table will be equally thought-provoking and heartbreaking. Let’s be a part of the solution. Let’s start the conversation here. It’s beyond time.
