M GILBERT

If I Hadn't Walked Out of That School—An Unschooling Journey

M speaks about her journey of unschooling and decolonising herself, and how her family learned to build community and take up space as a self-led learning family in urban Philadelphia.

Gilbert is the parent of two unschooling young adults and the founder of Speak and Be Easy (formerly the Eclectic Learning Network), established in 2016 and closed in 2025. SBE was an Ubuntu-centered resource that connected parents, educators, and youth learning centers to discuss their intersections. M. is also a co-founder of the Philly Children's Movement, which advocates for racial justice, and "Deschooling is a Thing," a monthly meetup supporting parents in their deschooling journeys.

Over the past decade, M. has engaged with the home education community in Philadelphia and beyond, particularly in underserved communities, facilitating over 500 offerings. Additionally, M. has provided equity-centered professional development for self-directed learning spaces and various organizations, including colleges and museums.

Now that her unschooling children have transitioned into adulthood, M. is also beginning a new chapter in her journey as the Communications and Culture Director at Natural Creativity Center.
