Manzama's book with Musumunu was of great significance when writing my dissertation. Thank you for sharing this!
Thank you Ama Mazama
Very well said. Thank you!!!
Thanks for posting and sharing. I am enjoying listening to all of the homeschooling moms ! I post twice monthly and usually share learning resources I have made for my little girl. She is in first grade and we are having so much fun learning and discovering together. Thumbs up and will be back to support. Home you can visit us as well:)
definitely home school is needed. today's schools are information fed schools instead of inspiration, therefore i think with homeschooling, children will be inspired and alert, and the types of information that will be fed to them will be more controlled.
This video is so honest. Thank you. 💕
It's too bad the African American Studies Department is not connected with the Social Work Department.
Excellent summary, thank you!
Merci beaucoup Mambo Ama Mazama. Si aux États-Unis la communauté africain-américains suit le mouvement pour une éducation afrocentrique à la maison, ceux de la France pas du tout.😦😦😦
I would love to read your research. I am homeschooling three children this year and simultaneously redesigning the education system. I need to read you research and I need help to reach out to other African american homeschoolers. pl

Audrianna Moore - make sure you search Facebook for the words Black or African American Homeschool. There are some very active groups that can provide support and information. Some cities also have active Facebook groups for Black/AA. Also check out the Kamali Academy's curriculum
Audrianna how is homeschooling going for you? I start homeschooling my 3 children in June! I am so nervous, yet excited and thrilled to nurture and educate such brilliant minds!
Peace, I seen old video and was wondering if you are still homeschooling your children and how was it going? My wife and I are currently homeschooling our children and new to it and could use some help. Peace

Hi! I have been homeschooling my daughter from the beginning (she has never been to school). She is 7 now and is doing 3rd Grade level work and doing really well. The first thing is check your state for the homeschooling laws. ( look up HSLDA for laws in your state, as every state is very different). I also live in Michigan (Grand Rapids) and Michigan is one of the best states to homeschool in as the laws are not strict in Michigan and you as the parent have alot of freedom as to what you want to teach. Then you just have to find curriculum to use (there are many choices out there for all different subjects). If you want any recommendations for any particular subject, let me know as I've tried several things over the years. My daughter is also biracial so my husband and I have found great books and resources to teach black history as well.
@@amandar614 This year we decided to homeschool our kids. What curriculum are you using now? I am also interested in books that teach kids black/african history.
I'm from Detroit as well and considering home schooling mines as well did you find any resources?

We are not African American we Africans🌍 in this place called amerikkka 😝
You can fix your problems in the mother country, leave this horrible place and find your peace in a liberated African country.
Don't let your baby watch black exploitation moves,or listen to black rap music,would be a start,and ease your kid to stop blaming others for its own short comings in life and to take responsibility for there own actions,and work hard to become more than a drug dealer or sports star,become a judge or involved in law and educate them that Everyone is racist in one way or another,and I'm white half Irish half Welsh,I've grown up around Chinese, Jamaican,samalion,Muslim. But if Jamaican,/black people wings on about racism,u need to clean up how u portray yourselves,in films,in gangsta rap music,as this does ure race no favours at all...I grew up on hip hop, graffiti, breakdancing,and class myself as krs1 said I am hip hop,but gangsta rap music has infected the youths of all races,and not helped the cause.... The n word is very offensive along with the horrible words we all can call each other,but its o.k. when u call
each other the n word,this I find very hipacritical,double standards even,and gun vilance,drug dealing,and the n word in films music and in social life don't help u,u can't choose when this words offend u,it don't work like that,just stop it.... Please,u are better than that,lead don't follow......
Just going to throw it out there that it is likely that the stereotype of public school black parents being uninvolved and uninterested in education would hardly be expected to apply to homeschooling parents. Much like one cannot take the deep involvement of any other race of homeschooling parents and copy and paste the same disposition towards education they hold onto their public school counterparts, I would say the same is true of African American homeschoolers vis a vis their public school counterparts.
Where are the homeschooling DaDs.???????? Jesus Christ!!!!or better yet homeschooling!!, couples???me and my wife and 3daughters alll play roles in the protection and advancement of OUR""5yr old...damn father's stand UP!!!
Serious question and I would love a serious answer. USA is made up of every single global citizen in the world, do you think the school system teaches about all of them ? As an Italian /Slovak, I learned about my identity by exploring it myself. Not my school, not even my family. Also, are you not diverting a problem ? is it not important to realize that the #1 concern in the USA is the destruction of the family ? Statistics show that the absence of a father equates to an exponential rise in drug use, crime, prostitution, homelessness, dropouts, incarceration, etc... The african American family has a 80% single parent home rate, is that not the most important concern in the community? How can homeschooling even be an option when there is no "home" ?
Hello Casey, there is a difference in not being taught about your nationality vs being given an oppressive perspective of a nationality with undertones of inferiority. I absolutely agree that identity and structure should be established at home. This is why I believe that homeschooling, at least in the early years, is a key component in reversing the condition of the black community. Believe or not, the U.S has greatly benefited by the deconstruction of the black family which is why there is more done to perpetuate the idea of black men NOT being in the home than him being in the home. You cannot intentionally separate family for hundreds of years and then expect the consequences of that devious construct to repair itself overnight. Pray for the black family, its the most powerful thing you can do to be apart of the solution. 🙏🏾
@@samanthawright3878 Well what you are saying sounds nice and some is true but also untrue. The black family had a 80% two parent household in the 60s and the presence of the dad was key ! IMO Liberal policies like ebt, public housing, welfare, even extreme feminism, etc... have destroyed the black family by replacing the dad but black communities bought into it then and still vote for those policies and want more of them. Even BLM had " dismantling of the nuclear family " in its objectives. Mind boggling. At some point a community has to look within itself and find solutions. Chinese, Italians, Indians, Nigerians, Pakistani, etc .... immigrants all faced hardship and massive poverty but they refused to let it define them. My grandfather was a prisoner of war, forced off his land, came to Canada with 5$ in his pocket, fought 5 years in the war, worked two jobs for most of his life and took his family out of poverty. There are many stories like his, not hundreds of years ago but just decades or years ago and they prevailed through super hard work and sacrifice. Making excuses never ever got anyone anything. The opportunity to achieve is there for everyone equally in this era.
