A Labor of Love

In this episode, Taija Sparkman and I discuss motherhood, homeschooling, and maternal mortality in the US.  We also explore her homeschooling journey and the launch of Mo At Home, Taija’s new business offering at home coaching for birthing people.  

Taija Sparkman is a wife and homeschooling mama to three beautiful, brown girls. She is a childbirth coach and the owner of Mo At Home, LLC, where she provides virtual coaching, classes, and workshops to help empower birthing people. Taija is very passionate about parenthood and raising awareness of systemic racism, especially when it comes to the health and rights of Black and Brown birthing people. Using creative themes and lessons she designs herself, Taija and her husband are dedicated to creating a foundation of cultural awareness and good citizenship for their family.
 
In addition to childbirth coaching and homeschooling, Taija also freelances writing and editing projects. In her free time, she enjoys spending time with friends and family, laughing, reading, and writing poetry.
 
You can connect with Taija's business Mo At Home, LLC on her website, Facebook, and Instagram at moathome.life and follow her homeschool adventures on Instagram.
