Welcome to the Squad — Start Here 🖤
I’m so glad you’re here. My name is Edson. I’m an educational consultant with over a decade of experience inside Ontario schools — and I built this community because Black parents deserve a space where the system is explained in plain language, where your frustration is understood, and where you never have to walk into another school meeting feeling alone. Before you do anything else, do three things: 1. DROP AN INTRO below — your first name, what part of Ontario you’re in, your child’s age, and one thing you wish the school understood about your kid. 2. HEAD TO THE CLASSROOM tab and start with Module 1. 3. BOOKMARK THE RESOURCES & RIGHTS category — I drop something new there every week. How we operate here: — This is a judgment-free zone. There are no wrong questions. — We lead with our children’s strengths, not just their challenges. — Anti-Black racism in schools is real and we name it here. — We protect each other’s stories. What’s shared here stays here. You found your squad. Welcome home. 🖤 — Edson

A simple daily log to track behaviour patterns at home and school — setting, what happened before, the behaviour itself, and what happened after. Turns scattered memory into documentation you can bring to a meeting, doctor's appointment, or IPRC request.
