Loving Ground Control Parenting! This podcast is so informative, with a bounty of incredible resources for Black families and parents raising Black children.
I have ZERO children. Still, as I listen to Ground Control Parenting podcast episodes, I often find myself thinking about how the subject at hand, the advice given or the point of view espoused corresponds to my own life...and how it applies to me becoming the person that I want to be.
Carol Sutton Lewis' interview of former Atlanta mayor Kecia Lance Bottoms is no exception. The starting point may be parenting, but the result is insight that will benefit us all.
Great podcast on topics that are important to me as the father of two black boys. Great insights and ideas….very well done.
Carol has curated a wonderful series of podcasts. I listen to them on evening walks and road trips. Each podcast provides meaningful takeaways and aha moments. Keep up the wonderful work, Carol!
I love Carol as a host. She’s warm and passionate as she helps us navigate how we can parent out of our best selves.
