Listen in this clip as a Black daughter shares with her mother her desire for her son to have joy, to dance, and to take up space. She describes her father’s family as loud and joyful and how much she loves the loudness. She recalls how her brothers will enter rooms and just start dancing and are also completely professional individuals; it is a balance and they take up space in a way she would like for her son to do as he grows older.
I want him to feel big in the world and take up space.
