Episode 54: Why the Rise in African American Homeschooling, Part Two

In this second installment of our two-part series, Why the Rise in African American Homeschooling?, we welcome Belinda Bullard into the studio to talk about her experiences growing up black in America, watching her kids as they progressed through the public school system, and then ultimately bringing them home to homeschool them.

Belinda has written an inclusive curriculum that celebrates the African American heritage and aims to strengthen and empower the African American student and their family.
