- June 21st 2022
In this episode of Your Story Medicine, I welcome Leslie Priscilla, a first generation non-Black Chicana mother to three bicultural children. Leslie shares her medicine by offering coaching, workshops, support, and advocacy for Latinx/Chicanx families locally, nationally, and internationally both in-person and online via the Latinx Parenting organization. She founded this bilingual organization and movement intentionally rooted in children's rights, social and racial justice, the individual and collective practice of nonviolence and reparenting, intergenerational and ancestral healing, cultural sustenance, and the active decolonization of oppressive practices in our families.
Main Topics Discussed:
- Defining “Gentle Parenting”
- Embodying Decolonized Nonviolent parenting
- Alternative means to violence intervention with youth
- The role that Latinx parents have in changing chancla culture
- What it means to be raising future ancestors
