52. Beyond Representation: A Black Physician Mom's Approach to Raising Confident Children

Hey doc! On today's episode of ✨Stethoscopes and Strollers✨, I'm opening up about the choices I make to protect and empower my Black children in today's world.

I share:

• Why I modify toys and books for representation
• The power of early affirmation
• Handling racism at age three
• Creating protective environments
• Why these conversations matter for all families

Key Takeaways:

• Every choice sends a message
• Early intervention is crucial
• Home environment shapes self-concept
• Silence perpetuates harm
• Change starts with our families

From coloring in white Santas to carefully choosing au pairs, learn why these seemingly "extreme" choices matter in building confident Black children.

This episode isn't just for Black Physician moms - it's for every parent ready to have necessary conversations about race, representation, and creating change.
