#BlindianProject Parents & Families

Hi All, Where is everyone located?

Hi Families!,

I'm excited and grateful to be a part of a budding community of fellow Blindian parents. My name is Petra and I live in Jersey City, New Jersey (US) with my Hyderabadi husband and our 19 month old son.

As an African-American mom, my desire is for my son to embody the riches of both cultures. As we’ve overcome the ability to be together, my husband and I still confront the obstacles of navigating seamlessly between the cultures. Normally its the mom who ensures these norms, relationships and events are followed (who else will do the stitching, cooking, and planning 😉). However, I don’t currently speak Telugu (studying), for example...I'm not familiar with the familial names/relationships titles (Pedammama, Chinamma, Mammas, etc.), my biryani/idli leaves a lot to be desired (for now, studying) and I have very little education on any festivals, events, poojas, celebrations, etc. needless to say…

Welcome to the #BlindianProject Parents & Families community

The community has shown an urge for this group to be created as a support network for parents and families in Black x South Asian relationships.

We encourage everyone to connect with other members, get updates and share videos.
