Have you ever ever questioned what it’s wish to develop up Black in the USA of America?

An Epic, Deep, and Solution- Based Book for Understanding Racism and its Negative Impact
I loved how the author vulnerably put all the cards on the table and shared the fact that racism has always affected her, and her children all her life. She is very authentic and humanitarian in her approach. This is a great book for parents and older children alike! The author shares how the frustration of the BLM movement, and why anti-racist activism especially in this point in our history, is at an all – time high. Unfortunately, racism has endured in the past, and still is a problem today; even after years of blood, sweat, and tears of contribution from African- American and Black people. And just by the sake of humanity, we should just support each other- and I think she drives this point home very well. Thus, she offers a humanitarian perspective for others to stand in her shoes, and others’ shoes who have been affected by systemic and blatant racism. The facts, quotes, and “solutions” for non-black for children, and their parents alike, is what made this book stand out for me. It is a no- nonsense book that gets to the problem quickly; and actively shares explicit solutions for change. I was superbly written, to the point, a page-turner, and I intend to help in all the ways I can as a non-black, yet person of color!

A powerful and urgently needed book with practical steps for action
This powerful book provides straightforward advice on what parents can do to raise antiracist kids. The strength of the book is the author’s engaging voice – i didn’t feel like i was being lectured to, but rather, confided in. The author opens her heart and describes the racism that she has confronted and her real fears for herself and her family. When she described the fear she feels as her son leaves her house – the very real fear that her son will not return home alive – my heart broke. These personal anecdotes ground the book’s urgent plea to other mothers to join the fight against racism.I started reading the book planning to skim to the “24 Commandments” but the book was so readable and gut-wrenchingly honest that I read every word. The Commandments themselves are a list worthy of any parent’s attention. The beauty of this list is that it very accessible to read and practical to follow. These aren’t abstract academic ideas or noble hopes. These are actual acts that every single parent in America can – and should – pay attention to.This book could not come at a more appropriate time. This urgent appeal from one mother to all mothers should not be ignored.

A book every family should read!
This is a phenomenal book, and Dr. Lulu is a great person with so many things to teach us all. She approaches anti-racist topics in a unique, digestible, and pragmatic way from a parent’s perspective. I really liked that her “commandments” aren’t theoretical — or even difficult, for that matter. They’re very practical and extremely sound ways to learn, engage with others, and make a difference each and every day. Some of my favorite parts of the book were Dr. Lulu’s recommendations around exposing our children to other cultures, ethnicities, and people of other races (or, more broadly, anyone that isn’t exactly like us!). Everything from food and music to museums and church can make a difference. Individually, those things may seem small in the moment, but they help build cultural awareness, racial sensitivity, and a general comfort having conversations our families may not otherwise have had. And, if done consistently over time, the long-term impact on our families and how we think about our communities and the world will be significant. Thank you to Dr. Lulu for sharing her personal experiences, her wisdom, and her teachings that we can all learn something from!

This will make you think and hopefully change behaviors.
The author doesn’t sugar coat the problem because she has lived with racism her whole life.It is frightening to imagine your sons in danger every time they go out in the world.She challenges us all to âfirst become comfortable with having uncomfortable conversations with thyself, before ever trying to have them with any other person.âShe wisely states that “Should you ever find yourself wondering if a question or a statement might be racist? It most likely is.”She made me think about how it would feel if my history had been erased as the slaves’ was. Too many people were kidnapped, names changed and dehumanized. “If you examine the treatment of Black people in America over the past four hundred years, you will see a clear picture of bullying, except it is on the largest scale ever.”I learned a lot from this book, it’s easy to read but time should be taken to ponder long-held beliefs. I recommend this to all Americans. It’s past time for change. We are all part of One Human Family.

Follow the Commandments in this Powerful Read!
How to Teach Your Children About Racism is a thorough and thought-provoking page-turner on how white parents should teach children about racism. This book provides insight into the most recent events that led to the creation of this short but powerful read. The author is transparent of her fear of her sons returning home after simply going outside. I can relate to her fear because I share the same fear when my Black children and grandchildren leave the house. The 21 Commandments in the book are not only helpful tools that encourage introspection but are educational to support each commandment. The authorâs knowledge, understanding and experience provided awareness in an easy to read format to leave no room for excuses or misunderstanding. Stop reading reviews and order now. This book is well-worth your time to read alone, with family, and share with others.

I loved that this book gives parents tools for having the difficult conversation of racism with their children.Though it is a letter from a Black mother to White parents, it is useful for parents of all races. The 21 commandments gives parents a way to start the conversation.Racism affects all of us and this book is a must-read for every parent.

I honestly canât recommend this enough if youâre a parent and youâve a spare hour. The author shares her own experiences as a mother along with her reasons for writing this book. The emphasis is on talking about racism from a young age and making your children aware so they are able to recognise racist behaviours in others, rather than be unaware or to become a bystander. When it comes to racism, not talking about racism is much more damaging than talking about it.The book covers 21 commandments which are short sections that offer advice about what to educate ourselves on, how to prepare for the talk and what sort of language to use when speaking to young children. There are also plenty of tips on how to open your family up to new cultural experiences as well as practicing kindness, recognising micro aggressions and bullying, as well as how to use privilege in a positive way.I now feel much better prepared for speaking to my 5 year olds, and reassured after reading this. Thank you so much for writing this book and helping me to educate my children.

This book presents suggestions on how to put an end to racism with emphasis on raising children to not grow up to be racists. It highlights the fact that racists are made, not born. This book also encourages adults to think about the unconscious biases they may have and work on changing those. As Edmund Burke said, “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing”. This book is a must buy and must read and a must implement for all “good men”. Buy the book to support a Black author. Read the book to enlighten yourself. Regardless of your race , gender, age, or where you live on this planet, if you read this book with an open mind, searching for what wisdom YOU can get from it, you will be a better person. Implement as many of the suggestions as you can. Doing nothing at all is not an option.

A beautiful read, straight from the heart: raw, real, powerful, brave. “Words” which cry out-touching on the seemingly hopeless yet hopeful, though blunt in some instances, the author takes responsibility and owns her experiences. I was touched and appreciated the lighter aspects of the book.The book is a sure to create a ripple in what appears to be calm waters for readers, a conscience audit.A guide which will benefit all.Kudos Dr. UU
