Creating the Future of Self-Directed Education Now!

Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAO)

Karema Akilah is witty, a visionary, a force, and an inspiration. She is a widowed mother of six children, a trained teacher turned unschooling mom and the creator of The Genius School and GeniiDAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization).  

This episode is full of insight and ideas for creating foundational, supportive frameworks in our homes, communities, and online spaces. Karema shares the “x factor” of the Genius School which is guided by the 5 Pillars of Invitation:

1.       Know Thyself,

2.       Know Thy Source,

3.       Know How to be Financially Self-Sustainable,

4.       Know they World,

5.       Serve Thy Community with Thy Genius

And we discuss the next big frontier in education: Web3 and cryptocurrency!

Karema’s community is thinking big and taking action to find a solution to the micro school funding problem. They have developed their own crypto, the $BeMe token, and aim to fund seven micro schools and their staff, support self-directed learners, and revolutionize education.

As she says, “we can do what we’ve always done, and we’ll get what we’ve always gotten” or you can do things differently and that’s what Karema and her community are doing. Plus, you are invited to join the education revolution, too!
