This community is designed to support families of color at all stages; without pressure to perform, overshare, or have everything figured out.
Here's how to get the most out of this space:
1๏ธโฃ Start where you are
You don't need to read everything or post immediately. Some members observe first. Others jump in. Both are welcome.
2๏ธโฃ Use the community for issues real to you
This is a place to ask questions and share
experiences related to:
- Pregnancy, birth, and postpartum
- Parenting across childhood and adolescence
- Planning, transitions, and decision-making
- Navigating systems that weren't built with our families in mind
3๏ธโฃ Respect lived experience
Families of color navigate healthcare, education, and institutions differently. We center:
- Cultural awareness
- Lived experience
- Evidence-based guidance
4๏ธโฃ Share at your comfort level
You decide what and how much you share. Listening and learning are forms of participation, too.
5๏ธโฃ Ask for what you need
If you're stuck, preparing for a transition, or feeling unsure, post about it. Clear questions help the community support you better.
A simple way to engage ๐
If you haven't yet, introduce yourself by sharing:
- Your current stage of family life
- One area where support would be helpful right now
This space exists to offer context, clarity, and community. I'm glad you're here.
