When I started my homeschooling mom career, I initially didn't seek out other homeschooling families. I wanted to get started and find my own way before taking in the thoughts, ideas, and opinions of others on the journey. I didn't want to become confused or discouraged because of information overload. After I got my footing, I slowly started to venture out in seek different ways to interact with other homeschooling families.

This list was created as a resource for those moms who, like me, desire to connect with Black parents who have taken full responsibility for their children's education, whether through traditional homeschooling or unschooling.

Using technology in our homeschool has become something I’m more intentional about since my daughters are now in middle and high school. I took several online classes during my college years, and it seems online learning will continue to be an option for learning for years to come. A few years ago, we began using Google classroom to help me to stay organized and to help them continue on the path of independent learning.

Over the years, we have incorporated many ideas, and our tradition formed into doing something new and old together, from taking first-day photos to planning a field trip at the beginning of the school year.
