Why Parenting Culture?
Parenting advice wasn’t written for every family.
We're changing that.
Psychology First
Everything we create is grounded in child development, clinical psychology, and research.
Culture Matters
Children’s development is shaped by culture, identity, community, history, and lived experience.
Actually Useful
We translate research into conversations, strategies, and tools families can use in everyday life.

An Ordinary Day
by Dr. Anjali & Justin Ferguson
“An ordinary day” is a picture book about two boys who move through a typical day. It follows them at home, school, and through after school activities; however, it highlights how even in the mundane of experiences, Black children operate in a world that consciously and subconsciously promotes messaging about bias and inferiority. Read more or buy the book.
Parenting Culture is making complicated conversations easier.
“Man Oh Man! A lot of tearful moments held in solidarity of dads coming together and letting iron sharpen iron! Braids and Bordeaux is the perfect blend of learning all dads can benefit from! Definitely looking forward to doing this again!”
—Father, attending a Braids & Bordeaux event
