FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Parenting for Liberation Celebrates 10 Years of Making Home for
Black Parents and Families in Los Angeles
(Los Angeles, CA, September 16, 2026)
Since its founding in 2016 by Trina Greene, Parenting for Liberation has been more than just an organization that embodies these actions; it’s been a movement! What started as a dream to create a "living room" for Black families to breathe, imagine, and practice liberation has grown into a powerful ecosystem that has supported 10,000 Black families nationally and internationally with programs and opportunities that strengthen Black families and disrupt generational harm. To commemorate this ten year milestone, Parenting for Liberation is proud to present its anniversary art exhibit, HOMEPLACE: Home as a Site of Love & Resistance for Black Families.
HOMEPLACE celebrates Parenting for Liberation’s work of uplifting and resourcing Black parents and caregivers to raise joyful, liberated children. With art, storytelling, landscape design and gathering, HOMEPLACE celebrates the beauty, complexity, and possibility of Black family life, and is inspired by Black queer feminist traditions of kinship, mutual aid, and community parenting.
Featured artists include Jennica Drice, Amir Khadar, and Willie Thomas, among others, ages 14 to 40+, from across the US, with works spanning painting, photography, collage, textile, poetry, and film, examining how love, creativity, joy, advocacy, and community become tools for healing, resistance, and transformation.
HOMEPLACE will kick-off with an Opening Ceremony taking place October 4, 2026 from 2p-5p at offTOP Design. The kick-off is followed by a range of free and donation-based programming including talks and workshops with featured artists, notable authors like Jamilah Lemieux and Anna Malaika Tubbs, and community-based organizations providing space for conversation, creativity, and connection. The exhibition ends November 27, 2026.
Holly J. Mitchell of the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors Second Supervisorial District shares her praises, “I am proud to recognize this occasion and the positive impact Parenting for Liberation has on the children and families it serves. Strong families help build strong communities and Parenting for Liberation's continued investment in its families is an important contribution to the future of all children and families and the greater Los Angeles community.”
Founder and Executive Director Trina Greene beams “I envisioned a world where Black parents are doing the healing and political work so that our children can live abundantly and free from violence. I’m gratified with how the organization has evolved and sustained for 10 years.”
The exhibition will be on view at offTOP Design (2712 W. 54th St. Unit A, Los Angeles, CA 90043) from Sunday, October 4, 2026, through Friday, November 27, 2026.
