Our country and our people are facing a harsh truth… the American education system is failing Black folks. So, what can we do about it? In this episode of Parenting Decolonized, I welcome Kaya Henderson, the Founder and CEO of Reconstruction, a tech-focused company offering a K-12 supplemental curriculum that’s centered around Black people, culture, and contributions. Listen in as Kaya and I talk about the immense value of supplementing your children’s education beyond the classroom.

In this episode, we talk about…
How I discuss race and Blackness with my young daughter.
How Black people reconstructed their communities in the 12 years after emancipation (& why this is powerful information to know/share).
Examples of Reconstruction classes you and your kids can take.
3 tips for supplementing your child’s education at home.
….and more!
