We hope you'll join the discussion about Black families and share your take on the following questions:
* What role do they play when it comes to developing, stimulating and celebrating the identity of Afrodiasporic and African people in the Netherlands?
* What are some of the things your parents taught you in regards to who you are as a Black person and what to expect from living in this Eurocentric society?
* What do you aim to instill in your kids in regards to identity and pride?
* Has the Black family been divided and conquered?
