We’re in between seasons on #fofcpod, and as we promised, January will be filled with specially-chosen replays sprinkled with some new-new announcements and invitations.
This time we bring you an update from Monique Allison who we’ve already heard from on episode 6 back on Season 1. Listen to Monique giving us some insight on She Said We Shed Podcast
Monique talks about what she’s been learning through her deschooling journey with her son, Pharaoh, particularly how she’s becoming a better observer, and learning more about adaptability, flexibility, and trust.
Monique is a single Black mom that is raising her son who has sickle cell and other chronic illnesses. They shifted to unschooling, attended an Agile Learning Center, and are still happily unschooling nearly five years later. Listen to Episode 6, (Reclaiming and Learning) to hear their story.
Akilah reminds us not to miss The Parenting Decolonized Conference. “The mission of the summit is to provide parents and caregivers with action plans, resources, and tips for conscious parenting during stressful times, reimagining education during the Coronavirus, and the radical shifts required to be more confident, conscious, intentional parents.”
Akilah shares her testimonial on Iris Chen’s book, Untigering: Peaceful Parenting for the Deconstructing Tiger Parent. The ebook will be FREE for the next few days in early January so download early before the promotion ends!
“Iris’s book felt like a familiar conversation with someone who insisted on telling the truth and letting it show up as potential healing space. But it was more than the sense of truthful reflections; there were so many powerful invitations to listen to my own nudges, as well as confront my own biases, too. It looks like a notebook the way I wrote and scribbled and hell-yea’d all through those pages! Untigering is a welcomed addition to the growing list of resources for people raising free people, and unlearning/reclaiming ourselves in the process.” – Akilah S. Richards
