About Akilah Richards

Social justice storyteller with a keen focus on centering the voices of people of color in the Self-Directed Education movement, particularly unschooling. ★ I create safe space for adults nurturin...g more partnership and liberation centered relationships with children. I write and speak to unschool, and to share the ways Self-Directed Education supports decolonizing, deschooling, & getting free. My work examines the ways that we've accepted coercive, emotionally and physically damaging habits as a normal part of adult-child relationships. With a focus on deschooling one's self, decolonizing education, and exploring radical self-expression, this work (I call it Raising Free People or RFP) both challenges and informs us to push past coercion and fear, and walk toward a model for living with children that centers community, addresses social justice issues, and believes in trusting and respecting children. ★ SKILL SETS: ★ Content Writing • Expert level writing skills with demonstrated ability to write engaging web copy • Knowledge of SEO and ability to produce keywords for products added to site • Familiarity with web analytics and tracking methodologies • Proficient in Web publishing and syndication ★ Consulting • Translating data into compelling written content • Refining professional bios to reach target market(s) • Non-fiction book and blog series writing • Online course content creation • Podcast scripts ★ Workshop Facilitation • Writing Bios That Sell • Exploring Radical Self Expression • Embracing Spiritual Entrepreneurship • Transitioning into Unschoolingshow more
