Description

In this episode of the Homeschool Our Way Podcast, I’m joined by guest Amber O’Neal Johnston. She’s a homeschool mom of four, speaker, and author of the book A Place to Belong: Raising Kids to Celebrate Their Heritage, Community, and the World. 
Amber talks about how she infuses Black history and culture into her family’s homeschool experience, and she shares with us the following:

How another Black woman in her neighborhood introduced her to homeschool and helped change her family’s trajectory.
The turning point with her daughter that caused Amber to ensure that Black representation was a central part of their homeschool life.
How her own experience with school encouraged her to want to foster a love for learning for her kids.
How her book inspires all people - regardless of race/gender/ability/etc - to explore their own place of belonging.

 
Be sure to get your copy of A Place to Belong, as well as her multicultural study guides called Heritage Packs.

Homeschool Our Way is the go-to podcast for moms of color who are interested in homeschool, but need help getting started. *************** Is your child’s school just NOT providing the kind of educational experience you envisioned for them? Are they not challenged enough, or are they possibly struggling to keep up? Would you like to see more representation of Black and brown faces in your child’s classroom? Are you ready to start doing school YOUR way, but you have no idea where to start? Don’t worry - you’re in the right place! I’m Elan Page, and I’m so excited you’ve found the Homeschool Our Way podcast. I’ve made it my mission to help moms of color get started with their homeschool journey with clarity and confidence, and I want YOU to become another success story! Just a few years ago, I was exactly where you are now: I realized that no one was going to care more about the success of my children than I would. So I began to take a more assertive role in leading my kids’ education, and that ultimately led us to homeschool. I know that the most daunting part of the homeschool journey is just getting started, and my #1 goal is to teach you everything I know to help you start your homeschooling journey successfully. Inside this podcast, you’ll hear from experts who will share information about... 1) Curriculum resources you can use 2) Learning options that will work best for your child 3) Ways to structure your homeschool that work best for your family 4) And how you can nurture your precious Black and brown children in a safe, supportive atmosphere Our family has found success in our homeschool experience, and I want that for ALL families of color who are interested in a nontraditional education route for your children. It’s time to do Homeschool Our Way!
