Testimonials About the BFHES Virtual Teach-In
"It was all fantastic! I was able to gather nuggets and reminders in all the live panels I attended. I appreciated the transparency, insights and lessons shared by all the presenters. [Dr. Khadijah] did a great job of moderating and all of her questions really helped pertinent tips to be shared."

"I enjoyed the chat and connecting with other black homeschoolers. I gained an online teaching job and some podcast contacts from these connections. I also enjoy seeing what others are doing within the black homeschool community."

"...I am recommending the teach-in to others because more Black families are interested. Some feel forced to homeschool under COVID-19 and inconsistent school policies. BFHES showcases homeschooling, as a natural part of family values and growth."
