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. 31: Solutions to Whitewashed Self-Directed Education
In this episode, we come real plain with it. I’m happy to offer up this dialogue where one return guest and one new one are brave enough and human enough to nurture safe space with me. Anthony Galloway was on episode 19. He is one of the founders of Heartwood Agile Learning Center in Clarkston, Georgia, a suburb of Atlanta. He’s a graduate of Morehouse College, a believer in nurturing learning, and a longtime educator/facilitator.
Anthony is joined by one of the Heartwood ALC co-founders, Julia Cordero. Julia has been in education for more than 20 years, in private schools, at a public access TV station directing a youth program for teens, And in this episode, she is helping to nurture safe space by offering up some real candor around her own baggage and biases, and talking about her willingness to face them, and to do something about the lack of Black and Brown faces at Heartwood ALC, including on their board and on their staff. #POCinSDE
