Fare of the Free Child — Kids & Family
Fare of the Free Child

Fare of the Free Child podcast focuses on Black people, Native Indigenous people, and People of Color (BIPOC) families who practice unschooling and other forms of Self-directed, decolonized living and learning. Each weekly episode examines a particular way that we’ve accepted coercive, emotionally and physically damaging habits as a normal part of adult-child relationships. With a focus on deschooling one’s self, decolonizing education, and exploring radical self-expression, this podcast challenges and informs us to walk toward a model for living with children that believes in trusting and respecting children and ourselves. #fofcpod #raisingfreepeople

Ep. 63: Deep Work & Dora Life Jan 31, 2018

Show notes

In this episode, Ieishah Clelland talks to us about transience, self-mothering, and the importance of forgiving ourselves. We explore healing work that happens through parenting as well, and you'll hear how Ieishah's intuition-driven travels were more than merely wanderlust, and actually how she made room for her husband and their daughters to manifest in her life. Oh, and we give major props to Dora--yes, the explorer, for her self-care sorcery.

Ep. 62: Deschooling Through Deciding Jan 25, 2018

Show notes

Moji Yai—the Benin-born, Gainesville-based unschooling parent, doula, and budding herbalist—came up with her own title for this episode—Time, Progress, and White Supremacy—because those are at the center of her WHY around Self-Directed Education. She talks about how much the decision to prioritize deschooling offers her a sort of reclamation of self, time, and power, and there is so much goodness to gather from this particular wise African woman. Enjoy!

Ep. 58: On Slowed Pace and Deepened Focus Dec 21, 2017

Show notes

As an unschooling adult (whether parent or facilitator) you are not just managing children, you are leading sometimes. And you are also following sometimes for sure. But, you are in a position of power by way of access to more resources, greater mobility, broader life context (which has its benefits in some instances). How will you lead? How will you lead you? What will that look like next year in your relationships? Go inward. Look back. Bring it forward. Sankofa tings. I'm taking a break, and coming back in January with a self-care series.

Ep. 55: A Vision for Self-Directed Communities Nov 29, 2017

Show notes

Earlier this year, someone asked me what I envisioned the world to look like if Self-Directed Education was a much more normal part of everyday life for all communities. This episode discusses three aspects of SDE in everyday life—funding, community, and confidence. In this episode, I talk about those aspects, including some of the people (Issa Rae and Auntie Oprah, for starters) who embody that, let me tell it. I also share a platform where families of color can come learn more about Self-Directed Education.

Ep. 54: The Sudbury Model Solution Nov 22, 2017

Show notes

In this episode, I'm breaking bread with Atlanta-based wife, mother, and Sudbury School of Atlanta Board Chair, Patty Zavala. We talk about ways to build communication channels among people, so that we resort less to police intervention, and more toward humanized, liberatory ways of living in our communities. You'll hear why the Sudbury model is a great fit for her family, and why she moved from Mexico and quickly found out that conventional schooling would not work for her family.
