Rewriting What Black Means In Our Minds

Authentic Thriving Podcast

About

We explore how erased history, language loss, and foreign validation fuel identity crises among black children and adults, then map practical steps for parents, teachers, and leaders to build Afrocentric pride with depth and care. Dr Ronke Posh shares tools from the Rooted Movement, from language at home to curriculum shifts that honour Africa’s legacy.

• Africa’s scholarly legacy and Mansa Musa’s wealth
• The Rooted Movement’s mission to heal identity
• Language immersion at home for early years
• Revising beauty standards around hair and accent
• School choice, diversity, and child wellbeing
• Afrocentric curriculum and hidden curriculum ideas
• Reframing beliefs that paint black as “bad”
• Parenting by modelling pride and boundaries
• Practical resources, songs, and books to embed pride
• Self-care, limits, and training others how to treat us

Please make use of those resources and let's build a new generation of children that are confident, don't have identity crisis, and they are just proud to be black
