The Conscious Kid

Welcome to our Patreon page! We are so grateful to have you here with us. Our goal with Patreon is to create a small, intimate community where we can get to know each other better, create space for in-depth, personal discussions, and respond to specific questions and concerns you have as you navigate intersections of race, identity, equity, and education. To share a little bit more about ourselves, we are an 501c3 education nonprofit that equips caregivers and educators with tools they can use to support racial identity development, critical literacy, and equitable practices in their homes and classrooms. Most of our work takes place off-line and is focused on critical media literacy research, teaching, advocacy, and increasing access to books that center marginalized groups. Every person on our team is a caregiver of color. We are all navigating these issues right alongside you and bring our experiential knowledge and insight to the table, along with our educational and professional qualifications. We all hold graduate degrees and our directors include PhD candidates in Education and HBCU Professors who each bring over 20 years of experience to this work. Your tangible support goes a long way in making our work sustainable. It will allow us to: -Create a precedent that values and compensates educators of color for our time, labor, and experiential knowledge -Continue our work and presence on social media to share free resources, books, and information on a daily basis -Support our partnerships and book donations to Title I schools across the country&nbsp; -Conduct and publish more research-Dedicate our time and energy to our work, rather than seeking and worrying about the resources needed to fund it Thank you for joining us and being a part of this beautiful community. We appreciate your presence and can’t wait to connect on a deeper level in this space! If you would like to support our work with a one-time&nbsp;contribution&nbsp;instead of becoming a monthly patron, you can do so&nbsp;<a href="https://www.paypal.com/paypalme2/theconsciouskid" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">here.</a> Any and all support is invaluable to our work.
