Stay Curious, Stand Brave & Smash The Kyriarchy

Choose Your Adventure

Hi friends!

We hold the power to redefine what it means to be ‘us’ for the next generation.

Regardless of the roles and responsibilities society labels you with, you can break assumptions and bias against the next generation of people who share your identity.

So how are you building up this next generation of kind and courageous leaders? How will you give them confidence, hope, and the tools they need to smash the kyriarchy?

No one expects you to dedicate your life 24/7 to healing generations of trauma. But pick a topic below and examine how your family can build a better future, one conversation at a time.

With you,

Ashia R.

PS: Register for free virtual workshopA Busy Parent’s Guide To Getting Shit Done.’, launching this June.
