130: Bring Black History to Life, with Mia Street
If you want your kids to learn about Black history and culture in a way that goes beyond textbooks, then this episode is for you!
I'm joined by Mia Street, Executive Director of the Black History 365 Education Foundation, for a conversation about what it looks like when our kids don't just learn Black history...they actually get to experience it.
We discuss:
- What Mia recommends doing to help our kids actually connect with and remember what they're learning.
- Why homeschool families are uniquely positioned to give our kids a rich, culturally affirming education that goes far beyond the classroom.
- What's next for Black History 365 and the exciting new ways Mia is creating opportunities for kids to learn, create, and explore through STEM, HBCUs, culinary arts and more!
