Akilah's story of schooling and unschooling

Unschooling is not just school at home- it’s a whole new paradigm of learning, power, and belonging

School wounds

The radical presence it takes to raise up kids in this way

How leaving school can free up a family’s life in myriad unanticipated ways

Schoolishness and the American Dream, in which so much of the actual human gets lost

The slow normalization of dehumanizing systems and institutions

Being constantly in curiosity about how our children (and ourselves!) actually learn

Reframing consent in the parent/child relationship

The liberation of being allowed bodily autonomy (especially for black folk)

Akilah’s response to the common assertions that only stay at home parents/rich people/white people can school at home

Actionizing love & recognizing that it’s all portal work
