117: Why Finding Homeschool Community Feels So Hard (and what you can do TODAY to change that!)
Finding homeschool community can be hard for any family. But for Black families, the search carries extra weight because it's not just about socialization. It's about finding a space where your kids are celebrated, not tolerated.
In this episode, I'm getting honest about why that search feels so challenging for families of color, and I’m sharing five practical things you can do to find the community your family deserves.
Here's what we explore:
- The real reason finding homeschool community hits different for families of color — and why it makes complete sense that it feels so hard.
- The surprisingly simple thing you can do before you even start homeschooling that could connect you with your people faster than you'd think.
- Why saying yes too quickly to the wrong community might be costing you more than you realize.
- What one mom's decision to listen to her child’s needs ultimately led to for her family.
