Being a mom is already difficult. It requires patience, love, understanding, and the right amount of discipline.That being said, imagine being a Black mother in a season where police killings of innocent Black youth are becoming regular occurences. 

Recently, during a police protest in Baltimore, a Black mom physically disciplined her son in public for taking part in the activities. The video of the 'abuse' went viral and lots of people weighed in. Some hailed her a 'hero', while others accused of her of publicly emasculating a Black man and adding to an already oppressed state of mind.

I have invited three Black moms to take part in a discussion about the fears and challenges of raising a Black child in today's social climate. We will discuss the video, their thoughts on the current generation, and what they would like to see in response to all the killings (from both cops and other Blacks). This will be an empowering and thought provoking conversation.
