Looking for Inspirational Talks
on Diverse Home Education?
Erika Alicea
…has a unique perspective on Home Education. For starters, she is a former public school teacher turned homeschooling mom of one…but didn’t home educate her daughter from the beginning. Erika was born and raised in NYC, and has been homeschooling within this incredible urban setting. She is a firm believer in a multicultural education for all children through the use of diverse, living books. Erika is a mama of color who loves Jesus. Sadly, with the unexpected passing of her husband in 2023, Erika is now also a widow and single mother who continues to honor her husband’s wish of homeschooling their child.
In addition, Erika is co-host on the Charlotte Mason for All Podcast, a contributor to the Common Place Quarterly magazine, and co-founder of the Art of Color Study, curated art appreciation resources showcasing artists of color. On any given day, you can find Erika taking pictures of nature treasures nestled in the city that often go unnoticed in the liveliness of urban life.
