"Black parents can no longer settle for ‘the Talk’ as a defense for our children. They need information, strategies, and tactics for ensuring Black children survive AND thrive in an increasingly hostile world. We Be Lovin’ Black Children is the corrective our families need to raise the mentally, emotionally, socially, and culturally healthy children we need to ensure the legacies left over the millennia and throughout the world."

Dr. Gloria Ladson-Billings, Professor Emerita and the former Kellner Family Distinguished Professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, past President of the American Educational Research Association (AERA)

"The title, We Be Lovin’ Black Children, establishes its premise. ‘Be Lovin’ connotes an immediacy, a now-ness, a persistence that is culturally based and applicable to today’s enigmatic conditions. Give every new African and African American mother a copy of We Be Lovin’ Black Children and the intricate, complex maze through which she must meander in her quest for emotional freedom is diminished. We Be Lovin’ Black Children means we have been, are now, and will be lovin’ and minimizing the barriers that separate us. It is explicit and replete with examples of the how. With the wisdom of loving scholars and teachers, the chains of oppression are weakened and eventually severed."

"As educational systems consistently demonstrate anti-Blackness through their policies and practices, this book shows readers what it means to be pro-Black and consequently pro-Black children. By tearing down divisive barriers and unnecessary borders, the book exemplifies what is possible in a global movement dedicated to Blackness in the fight for racial justice! This book teaches as it troubles racial injustices everywhere!"
