Our Approach

Welcome to Children of the Diaspora LLC, where education is a transformative journey rooted in cultural relevance, inquiry, and empowerment. With over twenty years of experience, I am inspired to support urban schools utilizing pedagogies like Literacy of the Oppressed, Culturally Relevant Teaching, Intersectional Feminism, and Pedagogy of Liberation. 

My mission is to create inclusive and empowering learning environments through high-quality performing arts, affirming authentic cultural experiences, and igniting students' genuine interest in literacy. Children of the Diaspora LLC design curricula that represent diverse global perspectives that aim to deepen comprehension and problem-solving while honoring the individual learning styles and needs of the student.

Leatrice, owner and lead facilitator, believes in student-centered learning that nurtures critical thinking and enthusiasm for cultural arts. At Children of the Diaspora, we encourage students to examine social issues, challenge oppressive systems, and advocate for meaningful change. Through this transformative approach, I guide scholars on a path of self-awareness and expression, preparing them to become versatile leaders equipped for college, careers, and their communities at large.
