Dr. Mimi Nartey has created Race, Class, and Parenting (RCAP).

The purpose of this series is to create an unprecedented forum for racially and ethnically diverse groups of women from communities of affluence to discuss issues of race and class as they relate to the experience of parenting. This effort is in recognition of the fact that racial issues are complicated by socio-economic and class dynamics, and the discussions of the challenges and solutions must be sensitive to this reality.

RCAP is an innovative social justice methodology based on the following tenets:

Women's Empowerment and Modern Motherhood
Technology
Scientific Approaches to Community-Based Research
Affluence to Influence
Mindful Communication

Panel discussions are designed to illustrate our subjective experiences of parenting in order to foster greater understanding and empathy. Broader group discussions are designed to operationalize constructs of identity, such as race and gender, towards collaboratively developing strategies to help us parent effectively in our communities.
