Keep Our Community Growing


We Are Building a Community that Inspires Change


I believe in the transformative power of Culturally Fluent Families.  What we are able to discuss and promote in an online community only scratches the surface of what we can do collectively to create the world that we want our children to live in.  I hope that as members of this online group, that you are learning that it is not what you read in a book or in discussion threads to creates the change, it is what you do with with the new knowledge that you can.  I am 100% committed to this work and to this project of helping families find ways to empower themselves and have access to the tools, resources, and people that help lead to the positive self-identity of black children.


When she started the group our team had no idea of what it would grow into.  I believed then and believe now that a platform built on acceptance, integrity, and education was needed!  I show up in this group as I do for my clients with a passion for people and a desire to help others create great outcomes. 


Learning is greater than change.  I believe in this learning community and demonstrate that by the time I invest in it.  I don't want members to just be learners but truly invested community partners.  Think about the costs that being a part of this group has helped you to avoid or just what it means to participate in such a unique experience. As long as you are willing to learn and grow, we will continue helping you meet your goals as culturally fluent parents.  There are more educational and relationship building opportunities planned for the near future but we need your help to make them a reality.  


If you believe in the mission and appreciate our community, please donate to Culturally Fluent Families.

Two days of reading posts and I have already wanted to leave the group, been uncomfortable, had several epiphanies, cheered cringed and laughed at responses and most importantly learned and grown. Thank you for the “accidental add”, you are changing lives.

This money in no way reflects the actual value I have gained from the insights and wisdom Valarie Annette shares in this group. It needs 3 more zeros. My intention is to give more in the future. Valarie Annette’s experience on these topics is vast and her knowledge of how to teach and guide is — well I feel like I can’t even describe how valuable and meaningful this group is for me as a parent of three Black daughters.

Alicia
