Mater Mea Majesty: Alicia Hall Moran

mater mea: Did you have any conversations with your husband or concerns about raising black sons?
Alicia Hall Moran: I can say this: No child will ever choose something that they don’t want. They’re very honest about their wants. So if you want them to want something, for them to make a choice that you would therein approve of later in their life, they have to want that thing.
For them to want something there has to be a desire created for it. They have to like it. They have to have a fantasy life around the thing. They have to think it’s an enjoyable thing, a tasty, delicious, wonderful thing. A thing that is an avenue to ever unfolding, even more wonderful experience.
