Parents & Families

Welcome Queer Renaissance Families!

We are currently developing content for Children to enjoy with their parents. All of the content is QOCA Certified (Queer, Of Color, and Allies) meaning that the normative socializing tools are resisted in favor of liberative stories that bring the margins to the center. Online stories and books will be available and developed into animated stories and video games. For now, enjoy these amazing books recommended by Dr. Alexis Pauline Gumbs.

Lucille Clifton's Children's Books

Lucille Clifton wrote a series of books called the “Everett Anderson Books” for her children and other children that discuss difficult issues, including the loss of a loved one, internalized racism and sexism and witnessing abuse as child. With dinner and cookies and milk we will read these stories together and do a series of activities designed to help us create ways of sharing difficult and important stories across generations in our communities. We believe that sharing stories, truthtelling, is a key practice towards ending child sexual abuse and all cycles of violence in our communities.
