I wanted to step up and be a better version of myself as a human and as a mother, and be confident in standing side by side with my son in the challenges he faces as a young man. Working with Sarah over the last few months has been revolutionary in my thinking and now within our lives. We shared joy and pain throughout, but ultimately by the end of the course, any pain now has a positive output and all joy is far more bountiful! Our home is a better home for having this time with Sarah. I wish I'd met her years ago. The change Sarah inspired in our lives will continue for generations to come.

Mixed Bloom Room Course For Parents was a wonderful experience. It has and will continue to help me build my resources and community according to my personal needs and desires for my family's future. I learned to prioritize taking inventory of my life daily when it comes to the mixed experience within our family dynamics. My thoughts, my home, our community, school...everywhere! I have finally allowed myself the freedom and room for growth around a topic that can easily be confusing, intimidating, and unfortunately-overlooked. The complexities that I have begun to explore will forever help me as a parent in the sense of communication and openness to my mixed race child. This course taught me framework, fundamentals, and perspectives to take into account daily as my lifetime work continues. My Bloom Room caters to my specific needs and I'm forever grateful to have had Sarah guide me through some discomfort in order to find and support the wonder in the work. The importance of trusting, believing, affirming and supporting our children in their mixedness is forever exemplified by my studies in Mixed Bloom Room. It truly helped me get out of my head and more into my heart which will have a lasting effect on our lives moving forward.

It's easy to feel at a loss on how best to proceed as a white parent of a mixed child. I knew that my daughter was going to face discrimination and experiences in life that I had not been affected by and that I wanted to be able to protect her from. Sarah helped me to see that I was not going to be able to protect my child from the world, but that I could ready myself to acknowledge the things she faced and offer her my loving support in facing them. I know now that I cannot fix these things for her, but by telling her I believe her experiences and that I stand by her, she will know that she is loved, seen and respected.

The Mixed Bloom Room also reignited the spark of optimism that I felt about her mixedness when she was born. She has two cultures to draw from; she has two passports! There is so much opportunity and celebration to be had in her life and I have a duty to explore both of her cultures with her so that she can take full advantage of her position.

The whole experience has been really useful to me as a starting point towards what is going to be a life long process of learning and trying to be better. As much as I wanted the course to end with a gold star and a pat on the back to say the work was done, it was clear throughout the course that this was the beginning of the journey. I appreciated the planning work we did in the final week as we explored how to move forward after the course ended.

Sarah was honest, supportive and challenging throughout and I could feel the love and care for my daughter throughout the course. She recommended books and other resources to support my ongoing antiracism journey.

Sarah is an incredible coach, and she teaches with so much love. This course has changed my relationship with my mixed child; he feels seen, he can occupy space as his whole self and his confidence has blossomed! Sarah has also helped me to engage with anti-racism work that is sustainable to me. The mixed bloom room for mono racial parents of mixed children has been invaluable to my family, and I urge any parent looking at this course to book on!

I’m leaving The Mixed Bloom Room with skills and knowledge that will be known and felt in my family for generations to come. The gratitude I feel towards Sarah is immense. She has helped and taught me in so many complex and beautiful ways. Affirmed and given me knowledge in how to parent mixed kids, what will make them feel safe and seen and what will cause them harm and hurt. In an odd way I even feel more comfortable in my own skin and more appreciative of what I contribute to their sense of mixedness thanks to this course too. Sarah’s enabled me to trust in my instincts, recognise the white supremacy in myself and consider how we as a family can make a positive impact in our community. I’m happy and excited for the future! Thanks Sarah!

As a white mom to a white/black daughter, I thought I knew about racism and how to have my daughters back. I realized very quickly how clueless I really was. Indeed, Sarah has brought and accompanied me on a beautiful path of education, growth and humility. She has given me the tools and confidence to center and celebrate my daughters mixedness and plural identities in and outside our household. As a mono racial parent of a mixed child, I would say that taking the “Mixed Bloom Room for Parents” is a necessary act of love towards your child and yourself.

As a white mum of mixed Black/white boys growing up in a predominantly white area, I was feeling somewhat anxious about dealing with issues surrounding their mixedness. Sarah's approach to supporting me with that was exceptional. She challenged me to dig deep to identify issues, supported me to see the value I can bring and encouraged me to feel confident in the ways I can support our children. The Mixed Bloom Room course is already impacting on our family in such positive ways - by helping me have conversations about difficult topics with my sons, empowering them to celebrate their mixedness inside and outside of our home and encouraging me to advocate for them more within their educational settings.

I am so happy I took part in Sarah's Mixed Bloom Room for Parents and wholeheartedly recommend it to other parents.
