Traverro L. Harden-Ali. Mother and Chief Administrator for our family's homeschool, the Djehuti Institute. I am a published author (Black, Female, & Rising: Book 1- the Black Woman's Guide for Getting Your Mind Right about Your Money), former medical education coordinator, empowerment speaker, workshop facilitator, wife, daughter, friend, and avid reader. I hold a Masters Degree in Public Health from Walden University and a Bachelors of Arts degree in Law & Sociology from Purdue University.
In 2016, our family began the journey of a lifetime- we made the ultimate decision to reject the traditional route of sending our children to a traditional public or private school. We refused to allow a system that isn't meant to develop and nurture Afrikan minds and spirits for liberation and sovereignty to miseducate our children. Instead, we became clear on our purpose for our children's education. We became clear about how we wanted to educate our children. My husband and I decided that we wanted an Afrikan-centered education for our Afrikan children in an environment already equipped and well-suited for their exponential growth and development- our home & among a community of trusted supporters. Two years later, our journey continues and we see no reason to alter our plans.
I have developed "Homeschooling While Black" as a platform in which to share my wealth of knowledge & experiences with Afrikan-centered homeschooling to other families. I aim to share information on educational goal setting, parenting, and Afrikan child advocacy. You can look forward to helpful videos, blog postings, unit studies, books on our family's methods & curriculum, and regular free resources. Homeschooling is a journey you shouldn't have to do alone. We've got plenty to share. Join us!
