Raising older children of color means being sure they understand their history, so they know why certain rap songs are inappropriate. It’s showing them how to love their bodies by loving yours. Raising brown girls means teaching them to love their curly hair and their “bubble butts.” It means making them understand that they might never have straight blonde hair but that boys will still like them. Millner, mother of two young women, remembers the joys - oh, the joys! - and the aggravations of having small daughters. She was also criticized for wanting to breast-feed her child, and again for breast-feeding as long as she did. When her first daughter entered the world, Millner says that, though she was married, insured, and well-employed, the hospital treated her reprehensibly and she had to be vocal about it - something that she says other mothers of color have experienced.
