Our children are deserving of pleasure and this doesn't have anything to do with gender @theloudlady #qrp2013


"I think it's very important to build community around children... The "normal" is radically expanded." - @juniorburchall


"Society is rough. Develop them so that they can question. And question freely." #qrp2013


It is so important to be vocal about the love you feel for your children and to celebrate their identities.


Talking about the public scrutiny faced by women of colour when making parental choices.


"As much as we're about radical thinking, we have to remember what our roots teach us about how to raise a child." - @theloudlady


"I made her write down every thing about her life that is privileged and cut them up and put them in her privilege jar!" - @theloudlady


@theloudlady 's daughter on being called "conceited": "I have every right to look in the mirror."


@theloudlady talking about her daughter coming into her sexuality and taking pride in having a queer mother.


Talking about how parents deal with family members who say problematic things & are resistant to the kind of education they try to provide.


Teaching kids, particularly kids of colour to talk back is so important. @AyoLeilani


I want them to never have questions about their value. Self-love is radical. @juniorburchall #qrp2013


As an African person, we start every morning with a 'welcoming' including an affirmation, 'I am an African and I am valuable & have genius'.


"Pigment is trumped by principle & practice." - @juniorburchall #qrp2013


Talking about queering children's stories in order to represent narratives outside of White, cisgender and heterosexual ones.


Some really powerful dialogue taking place about the impact of parental pressure and the importance of storytelling.


"I had to unlearn all of the things I had learned. I had to relearn how to fail. For me, parenting has been a self-discovery every day."


(on the birth of his child) "What do you do with this- this gadget?" - Junior Burchall
