I’m Jamey, mother to two young boys, lifelong feminist, and advocate for children’s rights. I believe that the only way we can change some of the most deep-seated prejudices in society is by giving children a different experience of the world. One of the most direct ways we can shift our society towards greater respect for humanity and nature - ultimately, I’d hope, towards peace - is to treat our children with respect, honouring their inborn abilities and drives, and helping them to develop their innate senses of order, justice, and self-respect.

As a mother of boys, I am particularly concerned about how we raise good, kind, brave men who will challenge bias and amplify the voices of individuals treated less favourably by society. In my academic years, I explored connections between gender, parenthood, identity, and belief. I focused on thinking and writing about ways that working for social justice can be a transformative spiritual practice for individuals, families, and communities. I use this knowledge to help families consider how we move forward, educating our children about the injustices in the world and preparing them to be changemakers. I’ve spent 20+ years studying educational theory and child development, which grounds my work as a home educator and curriculum creator.

I write about all aspects of raising feminist people: from managing bedtime chaos with respect to understanding the feelings of ambivalence so many of us feel about motherhood and work. I’m interested in the conjunction of feminism, education, and parenting, and what a practical feminist parenting praxis looks like for busy, sleep-deprived people.
