Each reflection in these pages carries that rhythm, a drumbeat beneath the words, reminding us that the way we care for our children is also the way we return to a sense of Home. Raising Change Agents moves with a pulse that feels ancient and immediate at once. Nat reminds us that the work of liberation is not measured in progress charts or parenting checklists, but in the quiet moments we choose to be present instead of perform. This book feels like a blessing passed through generations. It’s a remembering that parenting can be a site of healing, that our resistance is also our children’s resilience, and that liberation hums through the ordinary acts of care.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e—Akilah Safiah Richards, Author of Raising Free People\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“With her signature compassion and sharp insight, Nat Vikitsreth offers parents and caregivers practical tools for justice-based parenting without guilt or shame.
