About White Awake Parenting
Fierce love. Unfiltered growth. Real change.
I’m Marion—a white mom raising two brilliant Black children, a life coach, and a truth seeker navigating the intersection of love and legacy. My journey began with a beautiful act: adoption. But the deeper work—facing my whiteness, unlearning biases, and turning guilt into fierce advocacy—was the real awakening.
My Why
This is personal: I do this work for my children, for white moms, and for a world we’re all building together. I believe our differences are gifts, and that when we celebrate them—loudly, courageously, and joyfully—we create belonging. My purpose is to transform white guilt into purpose-driven action, so automatic protection becomes conscious advocacy.

What I’ve Learned—and What I Help You Do
-
That good intentions aren’t enough. Our kids don’t need us to fix them, they need us to wake up—to our whiteness, discomfort, and responsibility.
-
That deeper purpose grows in vulnerability. I grieved, I got it wrong, I kept going—and that’s the work of authentic, grounded parenting.
-
That when white moms face their whiteness, we don’t just grow—we protect our children and those who’ve been marginalized long before ours arrived.

Build daily practices that weave activism into your parenting

You’re a white parent of color-raising kids who loves them fiercely—but knows that love alone doesn’t change systems.
