    Episode 13 - Finale: Calling in the Village
    Mar 16 2023
    In our final episode of season 1 we were joined by Racquel Washington, a reproductive justice birth worker, pre-homesteader, herbalist, and mama. Mama Nika and Racquel covered a lot of ground discussing the role of the village for parents (especially solo parents), children, partners, and every generation. Racquel mentions the book, The Spirit of Intimacy: Ancient Teachings in the Ways of Relationships by Sobonfu Some. It's one of our favorites and we highly recommend if you relate to anyone or anything! In this episode we cultivated the energy of "Calling in the Village" as we dialogued ourselves into realization that the ways that we relate to each other have to be remembered just as the ways that we relate to the Earth that sustains us. We are calling in that memory and those practices of devotion to relating.

    If you are interested to connect further with Racquel you can find her and her work at https://www.queenscollectivebirthing.com/ where she shares her work with birth and death. You can follow along with her journey on IG @_thequeenscollectivebirthing.

    Last thing to note: at the start of the episode Mama Nika noted that this was the final episode and we want to specify that this is the FINAL EPISODE OF SEASON 1. We will be back!!! Until then, please stay connected with us at https://www.thetribecoop.com/ and follow us @thetribelearningcoop on IG to get updates on events and offerings.

    Learn and be well.

  • Episode 12 - The Parent Test

    Episode 12 - The Parent Test
    Mar 8 2023
    Mama Kaiya and Mama Nika have a few things to say in response to a newish ABC show, The Parent Test, that chronicles 12 different families navigating curated challenges through 12 different parenting styles. While the show is centered around a competition aimed at finding the BEST parenting style, this conversation is brought to the Tribe in order to provide social commentary that is contextualized in history,race, class, and dreams for the future. This episode is not only a response to the show, but also a response to Tribe members who have brought this show and its concept to our attention. This conversation is just a start and there is much MUCH more to say. The quality of the audio for this episode is a bit glitchy and still the message rings loudly and clearly. Let us know what came up for you around this conversation and feel free to share if there is any particular parenting style that resonates with you and your family at this time and why!
