Welcome to Familia by Mother and father

What does familia imply to you? For me, this time period stretches past the nuclear household to embrace all these folks (grandparents, comadres, primos…) whose love and help I lean on to navigate parenthood. They’re my village—mi gente—serving to me elevate variety, compassionate, multicultural youngsters. That’s the identical spirit we hope to embody with our new group: Familia by Mother and father. 

Right here, and all through our social channels, we’ll amplify the voices of Latine caregivers as we dig into the matters you care most about: bilingualism, id, multigenerational dwelling—the listing goes on. Our aim is easy: to empower and encourage as we deliver you nearer to your folks, bolster cultural delight, and encourage you to honor your traditions daily.  

I do know we will do it. You see, nearly a decade in the past I launched Mother and father Latina with the same mission and noticed firsthand how a lot all of us craved connection. On the time, I had a new child and toddler at dwelling and I wanted this group. I nonetheless do.

The excellent news? Familia is an evolution of these early efforts. The most important distinction is the identify. Greater than a phrase, it’s a feeling. One which strives to mirror the range of our experiences by welcoming all caregivers to share their tales in an inclusive, judgment-free area. Due to our sponsor Neutrogena Seaside Protection for supporting this essential endeavor. 

As a result of whereas our journeys could look completely different, our energy continues to be within the collective. Collectively, we’re redefining what America seems to be like. So, it’s as much as us to make sure that the following era understands the place they got here from as they transfer by the world with their heads held excessive. That’s my dream for my youngsters in addition to yours. 

With that, let me be the primary to say bienvenidos to Familia! Make yourselves at dwelling!
