Our second discussion on “Mothering While Black” was on p.21-75.
Using the experiences you had while discussing this section of the book, please answer the following in as much space as needed:

- What are the strategies explicitly discussed in this section of the book?
- What do these parenting strategies tell us about the social world in which these black women live? Remember, these mothers are responding to the built, intentionally designed social environments in which they find themselves.
