This Women's History Month, we're doing more than just adding names to a list. We're dismantling the traditional narrative and centering the powerful stories of BIPOC women. Join host Ashley as we dive deep into why it's crucial to rewrite history, moving beyond the often-told stories of white women to highlight the resilience, leadership, and groundbreaking contributions of Black, Indigenous, Latina, Asian, and other women of color. We explore the importance of intersectionality, the need for diverse role models, and how to actively integrate these vital stories into your homeschool journey and beyond. We'll discuss how the erasure of BIPOC women's history creates a distorted view of the past, and how we can use this month to correct those inaccuracies. We’ll look at real life examples of women like Fannie Lou Hamer, Yuri Kochiyama, and many others. We'll also provide practical tips and resources for homeschooling families looking to create a more inclusive and truthful historical education. Let’s make Women’s History Month a catalyst for change, ensuring that every child sees themselves reflected in the stories we tell.
