Hakili Community for Sustainable Development

10/02/2026

1 day to go.

Tomorrow, we’re opening up a conversation that many families can relate to.
How do we pass on the culture, traditions, language, and values we grew up with while raising children in a different cultural environment?

What do we preserve?
What do we adapt?
And how do we help our children understand where they come from while also feeling a sense of belonging where they are?

These are not always easy questions, but they are important conversations to have.
Join us tomorrow for Cultural Identity in Parenting Styles, a Family Matters & Community Conversations session designed to create space for reflection, shared experiences, and meaningful dialogue.

Saturday, October 3
11:00 AM–1:30 PM MT | 1:00–3:30 PM ET
Online via Zoom
Tomorrow is the day.

Meet the voices joining tomorrow’s conversation.

A meaningful conversation is shaped by the people who bring their experiences, knowledge, and perspectives to the room.

Tomorrow, Hakili Community for Sustainable Development will bring together Camilia Thieba, Dr. Fiona Edwards-Akunesiobike, and Dr. Donna Richards for a practical and interactive conversation about culture, identity, parenting, and family relationships.

Together, they will explore how our culture, language, traditions, and lived experiences can shape the way we parent—and how we can support children as they develop a strong sense of cultural identity and belonging.

When you think about the next generation, what do you hope they will hold onto? Maybe it’s a language. A family tradition. Respect for elders. A strong sense of self. Pride in their heritage. Or simply a feeling of belonging.

For many families, these questions are not always straightforward. Parents are often balancing different cultures, expectations, and experiences while trying to raise children who feel confident in who they are and where they come from.

Every parent wants a strong relationship with their teen—but building trust and communication isn’t always easy.

If you’ve ever felt unsure about how to connect or support your teen, you are not alone.

Many Black families are navigating conversations about identity, belonging, and real-world experiences that can feel complex.

You are already showing up for your teen—and that matters deeply.
