  • Ep.72 Raising Changemakers: Homeschooling for Equity and Social Justice ft Tara Freeman
    Jun 14 2024
    Ep.72 Raising Changemakers: Homeschooling for Equity and Social Justice ft Tara Freeman Hey, y'all! This week, I'm exploring homeschooling through the lens of diversity and social justice. I chatted with Tara Freeman, a wife, homeschooling mom of five, and real estate agent residing in beautiful Colorado. Tara decided to homeschool because of the lack of diverse narratives in traditional education. She's passionate about supporting her children's dreams of stem and law careers and giving them a well-rounded understanding of African and African American history within the U.S. We've dived into Tara's approach to holistic learning, how she tailors education to her children's interests, and how she integrates social justice and black history themes into their homeschool curriculum. Currently, Tara vlogs and provides support for first-first-time homeschoolers at Straight Outta Homeschool, while educating her children. Join us for an inspiring conversation about building a strong educational foundation that celebrates Black voices! In This Episode In this episode, we discussed Tara's engaging homeschooling methods, exploring everything from ancient African empires led by figures like Mansa Musa to the groundbreaking work of contemporary African American media pioneers like Spike Lee. Tara rocks! Not only has she instilled a love of learning history, stem, and culture in her children, she encourages them to learn about the U.S. Constitution so they can be empowered, informed, and engaged citizens. Tara also shares insightful tips on how she motivates her children to develop emotional regulation and focus, helping them navigate potentially overwhelming subjects with confidence. Join us for a conversation packed with practical advice and inspiration for parents who want to raise informed, engaged, and well-rounded children.
