Homeschool Our Way is the go-to podcast for moms of color who are interested in homeschool, but need help getting started.
***************
Is your child’s school just NOT providing the kind of educational experience you envisioned for them? Are they not challenged enough, or are they possibly struggling to keep up? Would you like to see more representation of Black and brown faces in your child’s classroom?
Are you ready to start doing school YOUR way, but you have no idea where to start?
Don’t worry - you’re in the right place!
I’m Elan Page, and I’m so excited you’ve found the Homeschool Our Way podcast. I’ve made it my mission to help moms of color get started with their homeschool journey with clarity and confidence, and I want YOU to become another success story!
Just a few years ago, I was exactly where you are now: I realized that no one was going to care more about the success of my children than I would. So I began to take a more assertive role in leading my kids’ education, and that ultimately led us to homeschool.
I know that the most daunting part of the homeschool journey is just getting started, and my #1 goal is to teach you everything I know to help you start your homeschooling journey successfully.
Inside this podcast, you’ll hear from experts who will share information about...
1) Curriculum resources you can use
2) Learning options that will work best for your child
3) Ways to structure your homeschool that work best for your family
4) And how you can nurture your precious Black and brown children in a safe, supportive atmosphere
Our family has found success in our homeschool experience, and I want that for ALL families of color who are interested in a nontraditional education route for your children. It’s time to do Homeschool Our Way!

49: Unlocking Homeschool Conference Insights from Texas Homeschool Expo Founder, Jasmine Lee
In this episode of the Homeschool Our Way Podcast, I’m joined by Jasmine Lee, homeschool mom, event planner and creator of the Texas Homeschool Expo.
No matter where you live, homeschool conferences are a fantastic way to learn more about various ways to homeschool, check out different types of curriculum and learning resources, and to meet other homeschool families.
As families of color, it’s important that we find these types of events that include our unique experiences and needs, and the Texas Homeschool Expo is a great example. So whether you’re in Texas or not, it’s great to hear from Jasmine about the intentionality that goes into her Expos so that you can either visit them in Texas or you can find a similar event near you.
