119: Stop Searching for Community & Start Building It, with Ashley Peek Gordon
When Ashley Peek Gordon looked around the homeschool world and couldn't find what her family needed, she didn't keep searching. She built one. And what started as a small vision is now home to over 250 families in San Antonio, Texas.
In this episode, we explore:
- What finally pushed Ashley to stop searching and start building...and what happened when she did
- Why "secular" and "progressive" don't always mean the same thing in homeschool spaces (and why that distinction matters)
- What it actually looks like to decolonize your curriculum and make learning culturally affirming
