For the past decade, @Arden Santana has been the primary educator of two daughters while serving communities across the Northeast region as an educator and consultant. Alongside her husband and children, she is committed to self-reliance within communities of families who value education over schooling, intrinsic motivation as cause for creativity, and scientific processes over emotionalism. In response to parents’ dissatisfaction with school systems across the country after

COVID-mandated closings, Arden’s family founded SĀHGE Academy, an alternative educational experience rooted in connected learning and cultural relevance.

Arden enjoys reading, creating art with her daughters, hosting guests and loved ones, and traveling.

She views her Bachelor’s Degree in English as an outcome of colonized education and her Masters Degree, National Endowment for the Humanities fellowship and certification in personal finance as examples of connected learning experiences.

Season 3: Episode 1

Girlfriends Guide to Homeschooling with Angela Jordan Perry

On YouTube at Girlfriends Guide To Homeschooling (Teaser Talk) and Full interview on Girlfriends Chat with Angela Jordan Perry podcast

Chrysanthé Johnson aka Ebi is a wife and mother of two small children, ages 6 and 9. Embarking on year five of their conscious homeschool journey as they take it one day at a time. Having spent all of her formative years in traditional schools, homeschooling was not very familiar to Ebi, at first.

Along the way, her journey has afforded her many opportunities to lead in various learning environments as a tutor, teacher, and now co-founder of Noire Educators Collective (founded by Natasha Bettina) a non-profit and international support group that serves as a resource for Black and Brown families and educators alike, both traditional and home.

NOIRE Uncut, the podcast, was founded as another means to connect with our village family online. All of these things seem relatively easy when I compare them to being a Black homeschool parent in America.

When Ebi is not homeschooling or co-managing NOIRE, she is creating. One of her favorite past times is writing. In following her passion and living in her purpose, she’s began writing my first children’s book, as well as a gentle literature-based curriculum for small children. Stay tuned!

Season 2: Episode 22 : Homeschool DOES NOT have to be perfect for it to be Good, Brenea Fairchild - New Jersey

Season 2: Episode 22 : Homeschool DOES NOT have to be perfect for it to be Good, Brenea Fairchild - New Jersey

HIT THE SHARE BUTTON!!

Brenea Fairchild is an educator, homeschool mom, and the founder of The Melanin Village. A lifelong learner

and teacher, Brenaea is a career educator who worked in public schools and coached pre-service

teachers prior to launching The Melanin Village.


Brenea knew she wanted to homeschool after her culminating undergraduate research at Princeton

University highlighted the inaccurate portrayal of slavery and the Civil War in U.S. History textbooks.

This research, coupled with her experience in education and her admiration of her mentors who

homeschooled, fueled much of her desire to teach her children at home. The mother of two boys, one

of her greatest joys in homeschool is teaching world languages, and as a trilingual, Brenaea immerses

her children in both Spanish and French.


As Brenea became more involved in the homeschool community, she quickly realized the unique

challenges that black families face when homeschooling-including finding like-minded community,

access to accurate and quality curricula, and easy-to-digest information on evidence-based approaches

to teaching and learning. She created The Melanin Village with the hope to create a gathering space for

black and brown homeschoolers in which they can encourage, equip, and inspire one another to their

fullest homeschool potential.


ADDITIONALLY:

I have a treat for you, Girlfriends! The Melanin Village has gathered some of the most influential voices in black home education for The Homeschool Together Conference and yours truly will be participating!  

August 20-August 22, 2020

I want to tell y'all to go on and register now www.melaninvillage.org 

The conference is free but you want the ALL-ACCESS PASS. It gets you all the notes and worksheets, unlimited replays for a year, and my favorite part: a ticket to the MELANIN MEETUP: HOMESCHOOL EDITION.

Even more, you can get 10% OFF of the ALL-ACCESS PASS using my special code: GIRLFRIEND.

Season 2: Episode 20 Cordelia Elizabeth Spence, homeschool Mom of 5 from New York

Cordelia Elizabeth Spence is a homeschooling mom of five, Speaker, and Entrepreneur known for her practical lifestyle tips, inspirational talks, and wholistic approach to changing the narrative of motherhood from overwhelmed, stressed and burnt out to peaceful, healthy, productive and fulfilled. 

With her passion for all things self-development and self-care, she is personally noted as the “Self-Care Enthusiast” for busy Moms.   

In 2016, after she suddenly found herself a single mother of five, she realized there were also other women who were trying to keep it all together while managing this thing called #MomLife. This empowered her to create Evolution Mama - a holistic lifestyle company teaching busy moms how to take back control of their time, life, and home, so they feel less stressed and have more time for self-care and relaxation without guilt.   

Cordelia has been the guest speaker and facilitated workshops on various platforms including the 2020 Surviving the Rona Summit, The Master Teachers and Professors Expo, and the Young People 4 National Conference. She has also been a guest on The Dillanspiration Podcast, The Emergent Experience, and several Livestream broadcasts for online influencers.   

When she's not inspiring women online, hosting transformational workshops, or teaching lifestyle management to women through her online courses, you can find Cordelia excitedly hosting brunch and dinner parties for her friends, walking in nature, cooking, baking and having random dance parties with her five kiddos until they beg her to stop.   

Her ultimate goal is to help 10,000 women build a happier, healthier, more purpose-filled life on their own terms.   

You can connect with Cordelia online in her private Facebook group, “The Evolution Mama Community”  or visit her website where she shares resources, life hacks, online courses, daily inspiration, and tips for busy, ambitious women and mothers.

Season 2: Episode 19: Giving up homeschooling YOUR KIDS while homeschooling with Angela Malakah Phillips

Season 2: Episode 19: Giving up homeschooling YOUR KIDS while homeschooling with Angela Malakah Phillips

Leaving a career as a motivational trainer with Los Angeles County Office of Education was a difficult decision. In June 2007 Angela Phillips decided to do just that after having recently married and giving birth to the first of a new crew of children she affectionately calls her “littles”. Having been a single mom raising 3 children while pursuing a career; she decided this would be a completely new and different chapter in her life.

Angela is now mom of 6 offspring age 34 yrs old to 9

The idea of homeschooling was introduced to her by a Sister in her spiritual fellowship. She incorporates her motivational style and experience as a seasoned trainer into her educational activities and believes travel and cultural experiences are just as important for her children as curriculum choice.

Angela combines workbooks, project learning, field trips and interest lead learning to create an eclectic approach to her children’s education.

This amazing Mom has recently authored and released a book about her experiences as a single mom entitled, “The Care and Feeding of the Single Mother." Currently Angela appears as a panelist on the radio show “Under The Palm: Hebrew Women Speak." The freedom to reclaim cultural identity and promote creative and critical thinking is the reason she homeschools and ministers with multiple ministries involved in revealing thebbiblical identity of Americans who are descendants of the Trans Atlantic Slave Trade

Season 2: Episode 16 Homeschooling life lessons through the grieving process of a loved one, Rashida Freeman

Season 2: Episode 16 

Creative and resourceful, those are words used to describe Rashida Freeman. As a homeschool Mom and spokeswoman for modern day motherhood, she pioneers the way to allowing children to be free to find themselves and explore their interests, while also raising respectful and productive children.

As a mother of four, Rashida has formulated the healthy balance between modern and traditional parenting.

Rashida is a teen mom who felt compelled to abide by the outdated parenting methods that were presented to her by her elders. Realizing that there must be a better way, she decided that it was time to take charge of how she raises her children, and now spreads that awareness to all moms.

When afforded a moment of free time, Rashida enjoys engaging in girl’s night out and attending basketball games with her family. Rashida resides in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Such as High Functional Autism, ADD, Dyslexia, Dyscalculia, Dysgraphia, and Developmental delay. She was told that her child was incapable of learning and just accept it. They told her a Laundry list of things that her child would never ever do, like read. Tina decided from that point on to make sure that her child gets the best education provided by her because she knew her child better than anyone else and believed in her child. So, she was going to teach her child to read and do everything else she was told that her child would never ever do. Now, her child can read, very social, and learning. She’s continuously checking off that list don’ts to do’s. Tina refused to accept that because she knew that her child was capable and teachable. So, that’s what preempted Tina to remove her child from the public system. She then started to Homeschooling both of her children at home.

S2: E11 on Girlfriends Chat: Stop focusing on proving your ability to home educate your children to others and just educate them.

Shamay shares how she was focusing so hard in her homeschooling to prove to others that her children were indeed educated and learning in their homeschooling to the point it was become more of a burden in homeschooling then a joy. You know how people do. As soon as they find out your child is homeschooled they grill them with a dozen questions to see 'just how much they know.' In this podcast Shamay relays the way she moved past the feelings and the actions of having to prove herself to others to the place of freedom and enjoyment of her personal homeschooling journey.

S2: E10 on Girlfriends Chat: Understanding the importance of ensuring your children see other children that looks like them in homeschooling with Amber Johnston. 

Amber shares how her daughter's love of herself and the 'beautiful brown skin' she lives in was being crushed due to not seeing others who looked like her. How the lack of black/brown community was the catalyst to starting her local support group. And the importance of getting rid of 'worry' in your homeschooling journey.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Amber Johnston, A product of public education and daughter of two public school principals, Amber Johnston never expected to fall head over heels in love with homeschooling. Now a mother of four,

Amber champions home education, in general, and especially among black families. While closely aligning her curriculum to the principles of Charlotte Mason, she likes to say that in her home, “Charlotte Mason wears and afro" as she is committed to showering her children with affirming literature that celebrates all facets of their culture. Amber originally planned

to take homeschooling a year at a time, but she is now fully

entrenched and can’t imagine her family doing life any differently.

A large part of her family's home educating experience is involvement in a local support group Amber started in 2016 to build community among black homeschoolers in her area. When she's not busy running the group, she focuses on her home-based business, CafePhysique.com, while planning periodic worldschooling adventures around the world. In her

spare time, Amber enjoys walking in the woods, reading books, writing at HeritageMom.com, and catching up with friends - both old and new.

S 2: E 9 on Girlfriends Chat: Founder of the 5 'E' Methodology of Homeschooling who encourages the 'Wild and Free' approach to homeschooling, Danii Oliver

To see the Girlfriends Guide to Homeschooling with Angela Jordan Perry teaser with Danii Oliver go to the YouTube channel https://youtu.be/500pKSkg90A


S 2: E 9 on Girlfriends Chat: Founder of the 5 'E' Methodology of Homeschooling who encourages the 'Wild and Free' approach to homeschooling, Danii Oliver

About Danii:

Danii Oliver by trade manufacturers whole food based beverages having founded several brands including Island to Island Brewery, House of Juice and Brooklyn Jun Brew. Formally, Danii applied her Creative Technology skills in the digital spaces of the advertising and marketing industry. Danii now applies her skills to her businesses and the education of her family and customers constantly learning and growing to remain independent in a world that has become restricted by limited archetypes to live by.

Who Danii Oliver is, seems to expand every year. Fine artist, designer, developer, business woman, juice bar owner, craft beer brewery owner, Texas transplanted wife and mother of three, 2 human kids and 1 umbrella beverage manufacturing company and soon a farmer. Danii defines herself by her work, productivity and her accomplishments. As an Arawak Indigenous American, Danii was raised in the spirit of perfection and judged by every single move she made to protect her from box society setup for melanated women. Being raised by a family that demanded perfection, Danii had no second thoughts to her PLAN A’s, ignorant that she’d be pioneering her way through emerging & male dominated industries of manufacturing technology and craft beer.

It was no surprise to Danii's family that after deciding to have a child, she would willfully break every status quo to pioneer her own version of the lifelong parenting experience. Coming from the natural juicing lifestyle, Danii chose the natural birth path, home birthing her first with a team; the second alone while traveling 2,400 miles to a new home. Being deeply embedded in the evidence based culture of natural birth Danii naturally migrated toward the unschool home education and homesteading lifestyle.

"I want my children to grow up with the same stories of adventure; a connection to the land, like my parents and ancestors grew up with back home in the Caribbean."

However, the power of "colonial survival teachings” prevalent in many Central American Caribbean homes and the pull of Danii's entrepreneurial life made a cookie cutter homeschool experience impossible. Danii needed no materials, she made her own based on a “5Es Methodology” she developed. Danii pushed her daughter toward perfection and advancement to avoid negative judgment and being arrested for negligence while living in New York City. Moving to the countryside of Texas and feeling rejected by SDE communities, Danii quickly realized her colonial perfectionism was stifling her children.

Danii and her spouse are now on the deschooling journey to parent “without the belt” giving themselves space for self care they define as attention to their nature - not spa days - and still unschool with purpose … some days. Danii hopes to debut her “5E Methodology” in 2020 as she continues to navigate the world as a businesswoman raising free people.

“My education was a PRISON! I was punished as part of the collective. I had no space for thought for reflection. This lead to depression and thoughts of suicide, which weren’t recognized in West Indian Culture in the 20th century. When I was able to educate myself, I found the agency for expression, research and reflection. I found peace in studying books that were NOT assignments attached to a grade, holding my future hostage.

This sense of self - I have only scratched the surface of in my 30’s - is what I want my children to grow up with, rather than push them toward the status quo.”

Girlfriends Chat: Season 2: Episode 2 with Onyca Perry (my eldest daughter)

Girlfriends Chat: Season 2: Episode 2 with Onyca Perry (my eldest daughter)

The benefits of homeschool parent's fearlessly encouraging students to be self-thinkers and who have self-autonomy over themselves.  And our personal life lessons as Mom and Daughter.

Almost a year ago I released Episode 39, Real Talk with Angela Jordan Perry, where I shared a little of my journey regarding my eldest daughter. At the  time of the podcast release we were estranged from our eldest homeschool graduate daughter. She had declared 'self-autonomy' over herself and it was devastating to me and to our family. She basically set on a path that would last a few years. As a result lots of things of our family life had to be looked at under a microscope and readjusted.

Now full circle my daughter and I are reconnected. Yay!!! I understand her journey. Accept her journey. And applaud her journey. She needed to discover who she was apart from all that we were teaching her regarding religion, sexuality, woman-hood........ just experience freedom on her terms. In other words, self-autonomy.

My husband and I believe that we encourage free-thinking and exploration of knowledge. As a result our oldest, Onyca, dove in deep wanting to know so much that we didn't dare dive into teaching her during her homeschooling years. Nor would we have even answered questions that she would have had questions about. We just wasn't there in that level of 'freedom' ourselves.

Today's Girlfriend's Chat hopefully will give some meat for YOU to chew on as you listen in on our phone chat.  

As you know, parenting is a high order and great responsibility. We don't do it right always nor are our best efforts always received with love from our children.

However, for our family we are on a continuous journey to a happy ending. Still homeschooling our remaining five children. But totally differently than we did our first three adult homeschool graduate children.

Listen in.

Culturally focused and centric Homeschooling Mom of four of her five children . Newbie, just finished up their FIRST homeschooling year, but has a lot to offer in homeschooling wisdom, parents with special needs and homeschooling, raising entrepreneurs, and so much more.

Because our Girlfriend Chats are 'true and real' phone call chats.....this chat has a few technical challenges.

Here on Girlfriends Chat Traverro and I dig deeper as it relates to character building and character develop. Traverro shares that their focus is NOT solely on academic growth but character development. In their homeschool they train their children to know no lack but focuses on wealth building. That they have everything they need which goes beyond food, clothing and shelter while ensuring they have a world class experience

Girlfriends Real Talk: My top 5 reasons you should homeschool your children?

My top FIVE reasons you should consider homeschooling your child(ren).

All five reasons have to do with FREEDOM!!!!

As a homeschooling Mom of eight children (three have graduated from homeschooling), 18 years of doing so, there has been nothing more affirming of my decision to homeschool my beautiful children then FREEDOM!

As each year morph into the next homeschooling year more freedoms emerge and the blessing of homeschooling becomes even more ‘sweetah’.

1. TIME Freedom!
2. EDUCATIONAL Freedom!
3. ‘NO-LABELS’ Freedom!
4. ‘MAKE-MEMORIES’ Freedom!
5. ‘JUST BE YOU!’ – Freedom!

On today's podcast, Girlfriends Chat, we dig deeper around the subject of Tara homeschooling a very very challenging son, how she deals with it daily, her convictions to stay in the 'game' of homeschooling inspite of her challenges, and what she has learned as a result of her challenge with her son.

Tara deflates the 'glamor' of homeschooling while giving a hopeful and expectant end whenever she calls each of her sons by name.

Digging Deeper:
Karen Ricks was my interviewee on Episode 84 on Girlfriends' Guide to Homeschool with Angela Jordan Perry.

This worldschooling Mom currently living in Albania is an inspiration and a trailblazer for many who desire to become a world schooler.

Karen, her husband and 7-1/2 year old son (as of this recording) has lived in Mexico, Italy, Japan for 10 years, New Zealand, Australia and now Albania. (I'm sure I've missed a few locations.)

We dig deeper regarding her advice to the African Diasporic homeschooling community that she shared during her interview on GG2H.
"Start before you are ready. Never a perfect time to get started. Start sooner. Start Now."

Karen and I chatted around what did her advice look like for her and her family and why the sound of urgency.

Digging Deeper:
Sharica McGee was my interviewee on Episode 45. She's a homeschooling Mom and entrepreneur of two sons in Jacksonville, Florida.

In her interview she mentions a VERY interesting book titled, "Lies My Teacher Told Me" by James Lohen. She shares how this one book shapped her homeschooling and focus of study she'd have while homeschooling her son.

As a result I really wanted her to share more about this book, why she felt we should have it in our library and what she walked away with.

Join in and listen to her expound about the perpetuating lies of history that are told in the public school system and in our society at large.
