AHEAD: You will find 20+ amazing Black moms on Instagram who share the creative learning activities they do with their young children.
No matter what colour you are, we all know that life with young children is HARD!
I created a roundup talented black moms who share the imaginative and fun learning activities they do with their little ones at home. From Montessori inspired activities to creative arts & crafts to unique sensory bins and more. This round up of Black mothers and educators is a great resources for any parent looking for inspiration and ways to encourage learning in their own homes.
Why am I highlighting Black Mothers and Educators
By highlighting Black mothers and educators who run activity accounts on Instagram, I am not leaving activity accounts run by mothers of different races and backgrounds out of the conversation. Instead I am trying to add more Black female voices, which have traditionally been muted in our society, to the conversation of parenting.
Although the kids’ activity space has always been welcoming and inclusive. Because as moms we know the struggles of raising littles is real for everyone. In this post I wanted to use my platform to help amplify these Black mothers and educators. I hope in doing so you can join me in recognizing their talents without feeling I am somehow putting them above anyone else.
