EVERYONE DESERVES TO BE FREE.
EVERYONE DESERVES TO BE.
TO liberate from societal norms
OUR MISSION
We exist to help marginalized folks and nontraditional families liberate themselves from societal rules and expectations.
We want you to honor authentic expression of self, embrace a unique identity, and find freedom to boldly exist in the world.
OUR VISION
an inclusive world for all
Liberation is at the core of everything we stand for.
We believe that freedom to boldly exist as you are and honoring authenticity creates an inclusive world for all - one filled with diversity and the expression of self.
We are committed to helping nontraditional families and marginalized folks build resilience to be liberated in the face of oppressive societal expectations.
our core values
liberation
We prioritize freedom of identity and expression. Because true liberation of identity starts from the inside out.
EXPRESSION OF SELF
Keeping focus on the self that exists independent of outside influence. Because we know that it is a journey to embrace your uniqueness.
RESILIENCE
Continually building the coping to bounce back from marginalization. Because microaggressions and the stress of marginalization won’t stop us.
BOLDNESS
Supporting brave ways to help you fully exist. Because no one else can do you like you.
visibility
Constantly working to help you be seen. Because nontraditional families and their children are under enormous pressure to fit unfittable norms and disprove all negative stereotypes applied to them.
inclusion
Constantly fighting to expand our collective. Because no one is free until we all are free.
about the founder
Psychologist and parent coach, Jennifer Noble. Known as Dr. Jenn, has done volunteer work in the mixed race community for over 25 years.
A past president of MASC (Multiracial Americans of Southern California) and now an advisory board member, she continues her advocacy for the mixed race community through her own company.
Dr. Jenn wanted to create new ways to dismantling monoracism, educating society about the mixed race experience and build community. Dr. Jenn created the Free to Be Collective to affirm a highly marginalized group of people.
Through parent coaching, workshops and in person events for families raising mixed race kids and mixed race people, the Free to Be Collective fosters community and encourages liberation.
Dr. Jenn’s passion for racial identity and the mixed race experience are heavily influenced by her own lived experience as an African American and Sri Lankan Tamil woman.
