Summary

How do you parent—lovingly and well—in the age of technology and police violence? That question is on host Brittany Packnett Cunningham’s mind as she settles into motherhood—and for this episode, she sits down with Elizabeth Alexander, the inaugural poet at Obama’s 2009 inauguration and now author of The Trayvon Generation. They talk about what it means to raise free Black children in a world that doesn’t see them, and how we build communal futures. Plus, correspondent Treasure Brooks takes on this week’s UnTrending News.
