Read this book over and over and get more reps in as you build a liberatory infrastructure for our children's children. The moment is now to raise the change agents within you and inside your home so we can co-create a legacy of liberation in community together."

—Dr. Resmaa Menakem, Trauma Specialist and New York Times Bestselling Author of My Grandmother's Hands
"Nat Vikitsreth’s work reminds me that liberation in parenting is a daily devotion. Each reflection in these pages carries that rhythm, a drumbeat beneath the words, reminding us that the way we care for our children is also the way we return to a sense of Home. Raising Change Agents moves with a pulse that feels ancient and immediate at once. Nat reminds us that the work of liberation is not measured in progress charts or parenting checklists, but in the quiet moments we choose to be present instead of perform. This book feels like a blessing passed through generations. It’s a remembering that parenting can be a site of healing, that our resistance is also our children’s resilience, and that liberation hums through the ordinary acts of care.”

― Akilah Safiah Richards, Author of Raising Free People
“This isn't a self-help book for naval gazing do-gooders; this is for parents who have been pricked by their conscience and called to implement the change they want to see in the world by starting at the root. Nat's heart for wholeness and clinical expertise provides strategic guidance for folks in the trenches of parenting to do just that.”

— Dayna Lynn Nuckolls, The People's Oracle
“Nat Vikitsreth has artfully pushed us all to see how the small moments of caretaking are central and pivotal to building a world beyond structural harm. As longtime participants and documenters of collective struggle, we were comforted and pushed forward by Nat's warm, steadfast commitment to practicing new political possibilities in the intimate spaces of our lives.”

— Daniel Kisslinger and Damon Williams, Cohosts of AirGo
“If you’re eager to divest from supremacy culture but are stuck at home covered in mushed bananas and stale cheerios, Raising Change Agents will show you how to raise the next generation of kind and compassionate leaders. Nat’s book is the map every parent needs to break cycles of generational abuse. It shows us how to balance the need to raise our kids savvy in a harsh world while also teaching them how to reject business as usual and fight for collective liberation.”

― Ashia Ray, Founder of Raising Luminaries
“With her signature compassion and sharp insight, Nat Vikitsreth offers parents and caregivers practical tools for justice-based parenting without guilt or shame. This book will transform the way you parent.”

―Dr. Shelby Kretz, Founder and CEO, Little Justice Leaders

Lovingly dubbed THEE trans auntie of the decolonized parenting village, Nat founded Come Back to Care for anyone who loves and raises children to heal as we get free. She believes that when parents heal their inner child and internalized oppression wounds in a community, they put fragmented pieces of themselves together to show up to both parenting and community organizing with their whole selves. Then, parents can dismantle systemic oppression and rebuild a culture that’s rooted in liberation for their future generations.
