When I first discovered the concept of Unschooling over 10 years ago, I remember being struck by how logical it sounded to Trust our children’s intuition, so in turn, they would be Empowered to Trust their intuition…Years and Years later of Continued Deschooling, this is what it can look like when children can grow up being given the Freedom and Support, to Trust themselves…Going on Solo Trips they initiate, to other states and cities, New Worlds to them, planning out their entire itineraries that include seeing sights and listening to sounds they Want to…all while Knowing they can count on a Soft Landing Space in their parent….We continue to work on this one day at a time…#FreeAfrikanTeenGoddess sure looks good on her…Here’s to our Family’s Freedom#ForeverUnschooled

Sometimes a day in our lives as Unschoolers, can look like…lessons she wants to take…whether it be Snowboarding, Skiing, Horseback riding, Archery, Parkour, Djing, Scuba Diving, Afrikan Dance…and the list goes on…It’s been a privilege to observe where their hearts lead them…and a privilege to be able to figure out how to assist in facilitating these journeys…#FreeAfrikanChild sure looks good on her…Here’s to our Family’s Freedom#ForeverUnschooled

Just Letting My Children…Be

When it comes to this Unschooling journey we’ve been on for over 10 years, one thing I’m most grateful for: Learning how to Allow my children to..just..Be…as a result, I’ve gotten a chance to see the many ways that action can manifest itself..2 Sundays ago, made 18 years since my youngest blessed me w/ the privilege to be the vessel she came through..I continue to sit at her feet as she teaches me..Warrior Goddess and Entrepreneur Extraordinaire that she is, it’s no surprise that in addition to celebrating her Bornday, she Officially had her new company, Kouture Kits, go Live…As I reminisce on the first time she wrote a book and went into business for herself when she was 7yrs old, over the last year, it’s been Liberating to watch her put her 2nd company together, this time, from scratch…from designing her own logos, to doing the math for her overhead vs profit, to putting her own website and marketing plan together..never mind volunteering at the animal hospital as she prepares to become a Veterinarian, applying, getting into and receiving full rides at all colleges she deemed acceptable, completing her senior year classes she picked out herself, teaching herself how to do all sorts of hairstyles (she did the dye job in the pic) and coping in a pandemic, I look forward to continuing to watch her grow…Happy 18th Bornday And Run, don’t walk, to get Your Kouture Kits Today: Https://kouturekits.com

NEW Video I’m Featured In!! SMILE by Konshens TheMc

I’M SO EXCITED!! NEW Video Out, of a poetic jazz experience called “Smile” by Konshens Themc and I’m featured in it You’ll see my Smiling face between the 35 second and 37 second mark (Click here to watch)..what I know is no coincidence: when Konshens put out the word last summer for these Smile pics, I was just starting to process a Major Heartbreak I’d caused myself (because I’m not a victim) and had just returned from watching the sunrise over the bay to assist in healing my heart..I’d snapped a pic of my peaceful smile as I sat out there that morning..so no surprise to me that at the exact moment my Smiling pic is about to pop up in this video, Konshens is saying – “Smiles be brighter than the Sun..or even a sign from the universe saying…Nah, I’m not done”..In spite of the pain I was going through at that time, I’m grateful I knew it didn’t mean the end of my world…Divine timing, Divine order..big thanks to Konshens for including me..I smiled the Entire time I watched this and appreciate the reminder at the end: Have you Smiled Today?

Breaking free of Society’s conditioning

As I reflect on the Freedom of speech and Body Autonomy we’ve grown to appreciate in our Family over the years, I can’t help but to be grateful…watching her grow into a Self-Assured young adult, as she’s been able to express herself freely, do what she’s desired with her hair, wear the clothes she’s desired, etc., makes how uncomfortable this ride has felt sometimes, as I’ve fought to break free of conditioning I grew up with, Worth it..#FreeAfrikanChild sure looks good on her..Here’s to our Family’s Freedom..#ForeverUnschooled

Twinsies

Sometimes, this is what a day in the life of us Unschoolers look like…my 17 yr old wanted us to dress alike on an outing we had to get new hats..so she gave me a pair of her stacked sweatpants to wear…something that could seem so insignificant, meant the world to her…I’m grateful I had the opportunity to be a good sport…and happy, that at 17, she’s not to “cool” to think kickin’ it w/ Mom…is corny..at least not on this particular day..#FreeAfrikanChild sure looks good on her..Here’s to our Family’s Freedom..#ForeverUnschooled
