Hey, girl, hey! Welcome, mama. I’m Dara, and I’m so glad you’re here! You’re probably wondering who I am and what this conscious parenting
Spankings, time-outs, and harsh discipline are common in traditional parenting, but the Bible calls us to a higher standard.
Proverbs 22:6 tells us to “Train up a child in the way he should go…” Yet, many of us have relied on control and punishment, often leading to brokenness instead of growth. Like you, I followed those patterns until I realized God’s way prioritizes grace over judgment and connection over control.
Like you, I grew up with traditional parenting prioritizing control over connection. Obedience over collaboration. Convenience over feelings. Sure, I ended up obedient with a bunch of accomplishments, but mentally and emotionally, I was broken.
Ephesians 6:4 says, “Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.” With God’s help, I committed to raising my daughter through biblical principles—discipline with love, encouragement with truth, and guidance through the Holy Spirit.
I made a declaration that the generations of broken children stop with me. I’m committed to continually educating myself with the tools, and I’m ready to share those tools with you.
I’m the founder of Radical Black Mom Coaching.
As a mother, my mission is clear: to raise children who don’t need to heal from their upbringing. The Bible says in Isaiah 61:3, “They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of His splendor.” Our children deserve to grow up happy, healthy, and spiritually whole.
God’s plan for parenting invites us to replace harmful methods with Christ-like leadership. When we embody Christ’s patience and grace, we can cultivate peace and joy in our homes (Galatians 5:22).
I want to create a space for Christian parents to unlearn and replace harmful parenting practices while still raising respectful, kind, intelligent children.
I started my own journey after having my daughter, Kennedy. For the first two years of her life, I used those same old tools you’re using today. So, I’ve been where you are.
Using those tools, I felt defeated, grieved, convicted, and out of control. Any act of defiance or perceived notion of disrespect triggered my childhood wounds, and I would lash out at my child harshly. I thought punishment (rather than discipline) was necessary for learning.
Which is why I’m committed to generational healing through Christ-centered parenting.
You’re here because you’re frustrated, tired, and feeling hopeless. You’ve exhausted your old tools and still feel like you’re not making any progress. At the end of the day, you feel defeated. You desire more peace and less stress in your life.
You’ve tried everything, but there is hope. With God’s guidance, we can experience the fruits of the Spirit in our children—love, joy, patience, and kindness (Galatians 5:22-23). Together, we’ll walk a new path, trusting in His promises (Jeremiah 29:11).
When I first started the journey, to be honest, I wasn’t sure it would work. Everything I knew from my upbringing said it wouldn’t. But after taking the time to commit and dedicate myself to the journey, I started seeing the fruit within my child through increased joy, cooperation, patience, emotional stability, and kindness toward others.
But no worries, that’s why I’m here!

What it is, why it matters, and the vision for the next generation… Talking about parenting is kind of taboo in the black community.
I had my daughter, and I thought I would know exactly what to do. They tried to call it ‘motherly instincts’, but it was really just doing what my
