Specifically, acknowledging she may not have"all the answers" as a white South African raising Black daughters.
“I have a real acknowledgment, as we all do as parents — we know where we lack and we know where we are rich," Theron told the outlet."And this is maybe not where I am."“I am so grateful to the incredible village of strong Black women in my life who I can pick up a phone to, or come over to my house and they’ll tell me: ‘You need to stop doing this,’ or ‘these baby hairs are breaking off. What are you doing?’” Theron said.
“I find that for them, it’s easier for them to just share and talk about these things. I’m also looking to them, right? They need examples, so I’m trying to create that for them," Theron explained. “I try to have consistent conversation so that it doesn’t feel like we just talk about things where there’s too much importance underlying where they get freaked out."
