As a mother, I've felt the sting of micro-discriminations in my children's education journey, and this struggle has fueled my resolve to empower other parents. Join me as I share my insight into the transformative power of parent advocacy in K-12 education. I delve into the nuances of ensuring educational justice for our children, particularly in the challenging realm of STEM subjects. Provided is a roadmap for parents to not only participate but to lead the charge in creating inclusive and equitable school environments for all students. My conversation covers the unique barriers African-American families encounter and the critical importance of community support.

This episode is a treasure trove of strategies for parents eager to champion their children's education. From the misunderstood engagement of Latino families to the establishment of charter schools and enhancing school services, I explore the breadth of parental influence. I also introduce an innovative tool supporting parents of deaf and hard of hearing children, highlighting the impact of advocacy on the individualized education process. The takeaways are clear: observation, communication, and persistence are the pillars of effecting positive change. Parents, ready yourselves to take a stand and ensure your child receives the quality education they deserve.
