Screenshot of video By Onicia Muller There’s a one-minute clip of an adult male pretending to arrest a baby. A small fraction of Twitter users replied in-thread that police or Child Protective Services (CPS) should be involved. A larger portion seemed to view the role-play as a joke. As always, I have mixed thoughts about the situation. Mainly, was it…

By Mwabi Kaira A girl I knew in my late teens once told me that she didn’t want to have children. I couldn’t wait to become a mother and already had a name picked out so what she told me was outside my orbit of things I knew but I respected that she had her own orbit of things she…
By Erickka Sy Savané I was reading an article recently about a South Carolina dad whose 8-month-old baby died after being left in a hot car all day.

Via XoNecole.com By Tee Elle I scroll through my Facebook news feed admiring the chubby-cheeked faces that my high school classmates post. The happy babies are dressed in toothless grins and two-pieced grownup outfits looking like little men and women. I smile in recognition of the toddlers who are complete miniatures of the people who upload the photos. “Aww look…
By Erickka Sy Savané It’s a few months into motherhood and I’m looking into the eyes of a baby that is nothing like I envisioned.
