What Django Taught Me About Motherhood

What Django Taught Me About Motherhood

This is a personal piece that I wrote after viewing the movie Django Unchained. While that movie is NOT for children, I think it’s something that parents with a strong stomach should view eventually. I learned something very invaluable about motherhood after watching the film, and I share it with you in this article.

I hope these posts help you start your conversations about Black History Month, or encourage you to not just have this conversation in February, but all year round.

        As a white woman, I don’t think I would feel comfortable doing such. Maybe a women pioneers, which would include black women (which perhaps is something missing as well). Women don’t get included in black history as much as they deserve and non-white women don’t get included enough in women’s history month. May I throw you a line if I write one for feedback?
