Enrichment Programs for Mothers, Families, and Schools

Workshops Overview

Proud Earthlings™ Group Workshops provide a supportive community for individuals to explore key parenting, identity, and well-being topics. Discussions cover navigating race, heritage, and culture, addressing the challenges of raising a child with a different ethnic background, and preserving heritage while adapting to evolving cultures.

The workshops also delve into issues of racism, guiding children to embrace their heritage. Modern parenting is explored with a focus on fostering allyship between communities, navigating social media influences, and maintaining "Parenting Presence" in the digital age. Participants learn to prioritize self-care, value their individuality while honoring their parent identity, and understand how motherhood shapes relationships with community, partners, and ancestry. The workshops also address motherhood traumas, including processing birth stories, healing from loss, coping with infertility, and managing mental health challenges.

Format: Whether online or in-person, workshops are intentionally capped at a small number, fostering an intimate environment for sharing. We use writing as a tool for introspection with a focus on process over product.

Our workshops cover topics like....

  • What does it mean to raise a child whose ethnicity is a different combination from your own?

  • “Writing with Michelle is about discovery, community, and bravery. Writing is also a form of self-care for me, and The Offspring workshop allowed me to practice self-care in community of like-minded women for which I am grateful. Putting pen to paper and sharing my story with my community helped me to feel less alone in my thoughts. It was like an aerobics class for the mind.”
