Stay Curious, Stand Brave & Smash The Kyriarchy

Choose Your Adventure

Hi friends!

We hold the power to define the next generation.

Regardless of the roles and responsibilities society labels us with, we can break assumptions weaponized against us to support the next generation who share your identity.

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 every waking moment 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.
