Resources for Parents of Children of Colour
1. Parents of Black Children
Our focus is intentional, to eliminate anti-Black racism and de-colonize the education system. We support parents as they advocate for their children, and navigate the education system. We act as a wrap around support by offering workshops, and educational tools to best protect our Black children.
