My son, who shares my Black Nigerian ancestry, is also Dominican and Puerto Rican. I am not. As a single mother by choice, I feel a deep responsibility to intentionally educate him, provide access, and immerse him in the cultural power that already lives within him. Like many parents raising children of color, I wrestle with when — and how — to begin conversations about how he will experience the world differently from his white peers as an Afro-Latino boy.
