Ep 48: Why I Love Working with Parents & Young Children

"As a woman of transgender experience, being seen and sharing my story have not always been safe for me- physically or emotionally. So, I tend to hide behind teaching, organizing, and taking care of others. But not today. Today, I’d love to share my story with you in this special conversation with a fellow somatic abolitionist, Dr. Sonali Deepika, in her wonderful Burn the Box Podcast."

4 Days of Social Justice Parenting Playbook Party

For families who want their children to be social justice change agents and shift parenting from "winging it" to "I got it."

You've been through too much to raise your child by using a parenting playbook written by white, colonial, capitalist patriarchy (or a TikTok influencer). 

Reclaim your agency & Raise your child according to your values.
