Parent opinions

By tekie quaye • Thirty years ago my mum, who is white, didn’t have that community or privilege to help guide us through the awkward, confusing and hard experiences we had growing up. She was surrounded by people who would stop to say how she had done an amazing thing adopting little African babies. It wouldn’t even occur to people that she could have given birth to us herself.

By liz petrone • Look at me, I thought. I am a saint, basically. A forgiveness boss. I am a modern-day Mother Teresa in an embarrassingly large SUV.
