Leslie Priscilla: Reparenting + Breaking Intergenerational Cycles of Harm and Abuse
Episode description
Leslie Priscilla is a first generation non-Black Chicana mother to three bicultural children. She founded this bilingual organization and movement intentionally rooted in children's rights, social and racial justice, the individual and collective practice of nonviolence and reparenting, intergenerational and ancestral healing, cultural sustenance, and the active decolonization of oppressive practices in our families.
In this conversation, Leslie talks about feeling really angry and experiencing rage towards the systems that have allowed men to benefit from the woundedness and the pain of women. She’s reached a new level of understanding and compassion for her Mom as a Mom herself, witnessing and experiencing carried rage and self-abandonment.
Leslie shares about her mission to raise her son as intentionally as she can, as well as celebrating the opportunity to break intergenerational cycles of harm and abuse and violence. She talks about “Reparenting’ as a discipline, the value of turning inward, representation in the parenting world, and the importance of sustaining and uplifting culture.
