Meet Maleka

Maleka Diggs, “Disruptor of Monoliths,” is an unschooling advocate, community organizer, presenter, and trainer that centers equity and inclusion, especially BIPOC communities, serving families, schools (public and private), and alternative learning spaces through her organization, Eclectic Learning Network. 

She is also co-founder of the Philly Children’s Movement, a multi-racial and multi-generational collective of families talking, playing, and “rising up” for racial justice! 

Her work explores the intersections of race, parenting, and education, its impact on Black and Brown peoples and those within under-represented communities, while exploring ways to pivot away from harmful practices and toward liberatory-centered approaches through unschooling and partnership-based learning practices.
