Ep. 109: Yolande on the Black, Queer, Feminist Approach to SDE

This week’s episode in the Parent Founders series features the voice and experiences of Yolande Tomlinson. She co-founded Anna Julia Cooper Learning and Liberation Center (AJC), “a cooperative, learner-centered, and self-directed community, rooted in a radical Black queer feminist politic, and a multi-generational, decolonized community of care, healing, and intellectual exploration where learning opportunities abound.” Yolande has two beautiful daughters who inspire a lot of her work and her shifting. She’s gonna share with us today the backstory and a bit of the logistics around co-founding this Self-Directed Education space in Atlanta. #BIPOC
