About the Homeschool Genius

Hi there!

I’m Nike. I know you’ve probably pronounced my name as the famous athletic brand, but it’s actually a common Nigerian name pronounced more like nee-kay. The name means “a child is to be cherished.”

Here are some fast facts about me:

I’m a Rhode Island native.
I currently reside in Georgia.
I’ve been married for 14 years to my high school sweetheart.
I’m a boy mom of two.
I’m in my seventh year of homeschooling.
I’m an M.Ed.
I’m a practicing Christian.
I’m a business owner.
I’ve been blogging for over a decade now.
I’ve been a homeschool mentor for two years.
I author resources.
I love to laugh.
I’m an unapologetic mirror-dancer.

Children are to be cherished.

Now back to my name. You see, the Nigerian culture does not take the naming of children lightly. Names often reflect the child’s personality and are rarely issued immediately after birth. A naming ceremony typically happens eight days after a child is born, and many believe the child will live out the meaning of their name. So, when my parents named me, they must have known that I would carry its purpose into my own parenting philosophy; children are to be cherished because they are gifts.

As a mom of two wonderful boys, I couldn’t think of a better way to cherish my children than offering a holistic education that provides a safe and nurturing environment to unveil their inner genius and foster every development area. For this reason, my husband and I decided to embark on this unconventional lifestyle to live out this God-given passion. Today, we are proud homeschooling parents of a new middle schooler and third grader. You can read more about our journey to homeschool here.
