We Who Mother

Lessons in Black Feminist Mothering

With our front row seats to the daily erasure of civil rights, safety, truth, and history, we are facing an age-old crisis: How do we mother for liberation when the risks to our children are so high?

This book answers with real talk from two Black feminist scholars and besties in the mothering trenches.

Drawing on research and personal experience, we share a Black feminist mothering framework for navigating this moment that honors the messiness of motherhood while embracing values-based action, radical hope, and love as forms of resistance.  

Teaching Diversity Relationally

Engaging Emotions and Embracing Possibilities

A timely book that gives faculty process-oriented guidance for negotiating the psychological and relational challenges inherent in teaching about race, privilege, and oppression.

Grounded in the philosophy of Transformative Education and incorporating psychological theories, Drs. Suyemoto, Kim, and I present concrete strategies for effectively teaching diversity and social justice courses.

"The text is an invitation to a collegial conversation of care and connection framed around the developmental arc of the academic semester and the educator learning "how" to do this work well and with heart."

Dr. Wendi S. Williams, APA President-Elect

Unravelling Assumptions

A Primer for Understanding Oppression and Privilege

For university and community audiences, this primer offers an introductory exploration of power, privilege, and oppression as foundations of systems of inequality and examines complexities within meanings and lived experiences of race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, disability, and social class.

"This is a must book in courses related to social justice, multicultural education, human services, psychology, and almost any professional field that hopes to incorporate dialogue across difference and the pervasive injustice that has been part of each of us."

Dr. Gonzalo Bacigalupe, Professor, Department of Counseling and School Psychology, University of Massachusetts Boston
