I’m Not Your Nigga

Words have power — and some words carry a history of pain that every child deserves to understand. I’m Not Your Nigga was written by author Robert Carpenter to teach children of all races and ethnic backgrounds that the word “nigga” was historically used to oppress and dehumanize a particular community of people, and that it should never be used. Through honest, age-appropriate storytelling, this book opens the door to important family conversations about respect, history, and the weight of language.
