This week we’re joined by the incredible Akilah Richards , who is in the vanguard of the deschooling and unschooling movements.

Our modern world is experiencing an epidemic of sadness with no certain end in sight. More than 16 million Americans have depression, approximately 2 million of those Americans being children under age 17. We have to make sure that we’re taking care of ourselves, as well as holding space for our children’s sadness in ways that we’ve never been held ourselves. So, how can we make sure we’re doing t...

Although we fight, gender equality is a distant dream. Our sons have more power in this messed up world than our daughters because the patriarchy is REAL. We must all acknowledge that fact. The ways in which we talk about masculinity are constantly changing. Masculinity itself is changing too--slowly, and for the better. But are you still prepetuating sexist values in your household? Are you holdi...

Competition isn’t always a good thing. How much is “winning” wrapped up in white supremacy? Are you too harsh on your child when they lose or fail? Is your competitive nature clouding your judgement as a parent? How can we practice more patience, love & understanding when raising our children so that they grow to be self-confident, good global citizens? We all think our children are special. A...

When you think of a safe neighborhood in your mind’s eye are you envisioning a white neighborhood? Why is that? Are you low-key promoting white supremacy in the quest for freedom? Whiteness, and proximity to it, is both safe and harmful. How do we talk to our children about that harm within the safety? What do we do when those “safe” white spaces backfire? What happens when other parents at school...

So many parenting anxieties are based in the need for safety.   Parents want to keep their children safe. And safety is on the path the freedom. But what cultural sacrifices are we willing to make in the name of “safety?” And are they really worth it in the end?   Join our host, Noleca, and multi-genre writer, performance artist, educator and mother of 2, Anastacia-Renee, as they discuss...

How can our focus on language--and how it is spoken--both empower and oppress our children? “We die. That may be the meaning of life. But we do language. That may be the measure of our lives.” — Toni Morrison Are we subconsciously using language (and our expression of it) to submit to white supremacy? For our people, language is community. But our diction also affects how we are viewed by greater...

What are we unconsciously teaching our children about what it means to be in love? Is love pain? Ownership? Anger? Sadness? What are they picking up from observing our relationships? Even if they are not speaking about it, they are absorbing everything. Oftentimes, children appear silent but have so many thoughts racing through their minds. How do we initiate honest conversations with our children...
