When do we tell the children the truth about the world they are inheriting?
“When Do We Tell the Children?” is a powerful spoken word poem that explores race, identity, justice, and the responsibility of honesty wrapped in love. This piece speaks directly to the heart of parenting, community, and legacy—asking how we prepare Young Black Children for a world shaped by inequality while preserving their hope, dignity, and brilliance.
Through reflections on history, resilience, and generational strength, this poem connects the past to the present—honoring leaders like Harriet Tubman, Martin Luther King Jr., Nelson Mandela, and the Maroons—while grounding the conversation in today’s reality. Rooted in both Black History Month remembrance and the broader legacy of African History, this piece reminds us that truth is not division—it is liberation.
This is a conversation about:
• Teaching truth without trauma
• Raising confident, conscious Young Black Children
• The power of African History in shaping identity
• Why Black History Month must be lived beyond February
• Love, justice, courage, and community
Because silence is not protection.
Because education is armor.
Because truth, wrapped in love, is an inheritance.
