Learning is a life-long journey that allows each of us to grow and expand awareness of ourselves and those in our circles.
When it comes to exploring learning pathways outside of compulsory education, it's not as simple as changing your physical location or purchasing new books, it's a call to action for an internal shift. The individual barriers around "what learning is", are vital to unpacking in order to respectfully engage this work.
Fears that show up when exploring homeschooling:
If you represent a black parent or educator who carriers any of the fears above, it's all good. We've all got fears to unpack and together we can shift our practice toward liberation and ancestral healing.
When you make a commitment to shift your practice, you are also "opting in" to do the work. Centering young people in the learning process does not exempt the parents and adults in their lives. In fact, it is paramount.

Fears that show up when exploring homeschooling:
- Compulsory education is the sole or primary way of learning
- Young people are not capable of learning what they need
- Play is not apart of the learning process, especially beyond early childhood years
- Existing perspectives around home education
- Adherence to indoctrination of colonizing practices
- Generational trauma around parenting and education approaches
