The Sovereign Series Co-Authorship Writing Program
Education Redefined
Education is meant to liberate,Ā not conform.
This volume ofĀ The SovereignĀ series is for those who chose something different.
Or who areĀ tryingĀ to.
Those who pulled their kids from traditional schools, who fought for change from the inside, who unschooled, homeschooled, hybrid-schooled, or simply asked better questions when the system demanded blind trust.

Apply hereWe know what itās like to carry a story that wants to be told, and to wrestle with all the reasons not to.
