EP249: Celebrating Diversity and Kinship in the Home (and Beyond) with Amber O’Neal Johnston
Amber O’Neal Johnston, a homeschooling mother of four, shows parents of all backgrounds how to create a home environment where children feel secure in their own personhood and culture, enabling them to better understand and appreciate people who are racially and culturally different. She’ll be joining me today to discuss her new book, A Place to Belong, which provides parents with the tools to empower children as they embrace their unique identities while feeling beautifully tethered to their global community.
About Amber
Amber O'Neal Johnston lives in Georgia nestled among pine trees, hammocks and ziplines with her husband and their four children. Her happy place is the back porch on a rainy day, preferably with a giant mug of hot tea and a good book. And although she was raised in the air conditioning, somehow the woods is where she feels most at home these days. When they have the chance, her family enjoys extended worldschooling trips to immerse themselves in other cultures, so you can often find her researching their next home away from home. Amber writes and speaks about the beauty of an inclusive, culturally and socially conscious home environment, and she enjoys sharing diverse literary mirrors and windows at Heritagemom.com and on IG @heritagemomblog.
