Praise for Denene Millner, her blog, and My Brown Baby:
“[Millner] here delivers the finest selections from her
award-winning blog MyBrownBaby.com, which soulfully and hilariously
depicts the delights and sorrows of child rearing from a black
perspective. While few blogs on this topic make it to publication,
Millner’s deserves every prize earned. Her writing is acutely on
target. Holding nothing back, and speaking through raw truth, she
gives a keen yet grounded take on parenting from the black
viewpoint, both educating and validating readers along the way. . .
. Millner is on top of every political, media, and cultural front,
making her one of the most relevant and aspiring writers on the
issue of black parenting.” —Library Journal, starred review
“Many of [the essays] are humorous, some are profound, and more
than a few are thought-provokingly political. . . . Millner is a
natural, conversational writer, and these bite-size essays deserve
a wide readership.” —Booklist
“[A] must-read . . . more destination than blog.” —New York
Times
“The best site for thoughtful, fierce advice about parenting from a
Black perspective.” —Ebony
“For brown moms looking for a space to write and talk about
pregnancy, parenting, healthy eating and pop-culture portrayals of
parenting, this blog is their utopia.” —The Root
“Insightful and powerful. . . . A must-read for mothers raising
children of color—and for parents everywhere.” —The Parenting
Patch
“While the shelves are full to bursting with pregnancy and
childrearing books, Millner tackles the subject from a different
angle, one that’s perhaps more rare and that speaks directly to
parents without a lot of fuss. Millner uses humor, but it’s clear
when she’s being serious; she’s also common-sense and offers a nice
mix of old-school, modern ideas, and new viewpoints on things your
Mama never had to consider.” —Terri Schlichenmeyer, The Bookworm
Sez
“I'm flagging page after page in this must-read.” —White Sugar,
Brown Sugar
“There are so many good nuggets of information and great essays
found in the pages of My Brown Baby. . . . While this book is
geared towards African-Americans raising Black and Brown children,
it can be read and enjoyed by people of all races.” —Here Wee
Read
“Required reading for parents of all shades—and it will help them
understand the perspectives of their fellow parents.”
—Flagpole.com
“An eye opening read . . . . A must read for anyone that has a
child `different’ than themselves.” —Kelly’s Thoughts On Things
“There is no one size fits all manual, but Denene Millner is
knocking down the fourth wall of Black Parenting in her newest
book. . . . This is the parenting book we all need, and it is
carving out a new lane in the Parenting Genre.” —D’BABETTA
“What you’ve come to expect since 2008 from the My Brown Baby
site—that purposeful, gleeful recognition of parenting while
black—you’ll get in the essays in this book.” —Arnebya
“Revealing her own trials and triumphs, Denene fosters a community
of [parents] dedicated to making the next generation as powerful as
it can be.” —For Harriet
