Raising Free People: Unschooling as Liberation and Healing Work by Akilah S. Richards

3.0

This is a great read for radical black mamas considering how to ditch the hierarchical colonial ways we were taught meant we were "parenting right".

That said, I already listen to Akilah's podcast so a lot of this felt like rehash to me. While it is nice to have in book form as a reference, it would have benefitted greatly (as would her podcast) from better editing and organization. I think she should create a course or study guide for this that better organizes the ideas for a deschooling study group approach. You know what? Maybe I'll just do it
