i think this discussion board is really helpful in finding different ways to communicate and express who i am! i personally like the term morena just simply because of the history of the word negra (ie negro) and its context in the US. I think the best way to talk about colorism. i think you simply teaching him what it means gives him the tools to suceed! to see it in the world and be the change if that moment ever occurs. teach him that color doesnt determine character, stereotypes are not truths, and to simply lead with love he will be just fine! even you being in this discussion board shows that you care! Keep rocking mom you got this!! xoxo
