Black Montessori Matters Podcast!

Welcome to Black Montessori Matters, the podcast where we dive deep into all things Montessori—unfiltered, unapologetic, and rooted in the radical change needed to transform education.

Hosted by Ashley, Bre, and Celina of the BMEF Advisory Council, this monthly podcast is for parents, educators, and anyone invested in human development and the future of education. We’re here to take off the rose-colored glasses of traditional spaces and engage in real, necessary conversations about Montessori—its power, its challenges, and its potential to drive true liberation.

We do this work because we know it matters. Because we believe in radical change for radical results. Because education isn’t just about learning—it’s about justice, freedom, and the future we want to build.

Join us as we disrupt, reimagine, reclaim, and explore Montessori—because all of it matters.
