Get Here?
A digital course for parents to unlearn the lies you have been taught about race.
Instructor Fernell Miller
I support black peaceful protests but don't support rioting and looting. Can someone please explain?
I have friends of color but I don't feel comfortable talking about race with my family yet.
I want to be an example to my kids so that we can build a more inclusive world.
Are you ready to build a more inclusive home or school culture?
Why?
BECAUSE once you understand this information you will become an inclusive person who is safe to be in any environment .
What is being woke? Why do I need to be woke? How do you stay woke? What do woke people do? If you've been wondering about all this wokeness, then you are in the right place, at the right time - and just in time! You are never late as long as you start at the beginning. So thank you for choosing to put your curiosity into action!
Examining our footprint is the beginning of understanding where we are, and who we ARE. Let's dig into your essential tools to use for our 9-12 month journey! Let the framework guide you through the personal pruning and weeding in order to reveal, understand, accept, and embrace your roots.
"I was a curious boy, but the schools were not concerned with curiosity. They were concerned with compliance." Ta-Nehisi Coats
How have you been carefully taught? Have you used your curiosity to question the injustices of our educational system or which students it was designed to serve? It’s in the water we drink, the air we breathe! Challenge the colonization of all aspects of our lives.
You will learn about the construct of race and how centering one race as the norm or default, and believing and buying into a system of exclusion and oppression, hurts us all.
Understanding our history is vitally important for understanding our roots, as well as building a future centering our humanity where we all belong to each other and with each other.
“If you know whence you came, there are absolutely no limitations to where you can go.” James Baldwin
We can't fix what we are unwilling to face. How we show up makes all the difference in creating a culture where all children have the opportunity to live out their dreams and potentials, while continuing to heal and move forward.
Transformation | Let's see what you've planted!
Reflect and repeat this section and process often. Each week, each month, each season; Reflect with authenticity, review and return for revisions, reparations and restoration. Prioritize the questions that are most challenging for you in order to bring you the most growth on your journey.
"Excellence is nothing without the courage to execute it."
What would have to happen in order for Black People to not wonder or worry about being safe and respected as their reality?
Now that you have dug deep into your roots, it's time to answer the final question. How Did I Get Here? Create time and space to tell your story, the root of you! Continue to start dialogue with your circle, family, colleagues and community about the ways you are transforming, healing, and bringing healing to the people you love.

Before I met Fernell, I had no real mentor or genuine person to look up to in my life.
But Fernell is so authentic
and truth-speaking that I immediately saw the potential of being involved with the work she does. Fernell is exceptional at educating and creating curricula around social justice, especially racial justice. She has decades of knowledge and study to support her already skillful coursework and content.
I would highly recommend this course to anyone looking to learn about racial unity,
and the work behind it,
or how to approach it.
Even if you are well-versed
in this subject, Fernell’s teaching presents such complex concepts naturally, and is always well-paced and trauma-informed.
I can not recommend enough!

Hi, I'm Fernell
"Excellence is nothing without the courage to execute it"
My work as an educator spans 40 years and carries deep community trust among youth, families, educators and community members. I began as an education activist, youth advocate and community organizer as a result of my own experiences of classroom and curriculum erasure, anti-blackness and racial isolation; which began in elementary school, continued through secondary education, into college and still remain today. I rarely saw the positive representation of black identities I needed in order to see myself in the world, so after becoming an educator I returned to do just that. I came back to build in the place where I could disrupt the white narrative, while being a mirror for the Black, Brown, Indigenous and students of Color who were yearning for that representation as I did for so long.
“I had to create brave spaces where we could show up with our full Identities, without apology or explaining why we need spaces that reflect the true history of Black people; by centering our brilliance, beauty, contributions and the resilience of black humanity which represents who we are, and who we want to be in the world.”
My roots of commitment to disrupting the white centered education and racial inequities over the past four generations are deep because everybody "gets to" take PE right! I've cultivated and cherished so many rich relationships that are built on trust, which I'm told have enhanced our learning community, especially among Black, Brown and Indigenous families and students of Color. My very presence in a predominantly white community presents many opportunities to address the racism we were taught not to see, not to hear, and certainly never to be spoken about.
That is why I started Racial Healing Circles. I needed a space to begin those conversations with everybody in the 'zoom'. Families and folks of all ages, ethnicities, races, cultures, genders, languages and abilities are welcome, wanted and needed in our circles. We are each other's medicine. We are each others healing.
Knowing ourselves, digging up our roots, is the first step in building strong diverse, equitable and inclusive communities of practice. From this ground work comes the knowledge needed to build strong, resilient, multicultural, multiracial teams, organizations, and communities - the sturdy trunk. It is there where we branch out to include others, always working towards the establishment of a just society. Roots, trunk, branches.
The Root Of Us works with educational, government and nonprofit organizations in service of racial healing, racial solidarity and social justice. We shape our work to fit your needs and we can't wait to meet, work, build, learn and heal with you.
We are rooting for you!

I learned how to express my pain in the form of service and gratitude.
My family is more connected than ever.
We receive therapeutic guidance and healing for our transracial family with two Black teen boys who are transracial adoptees.
I taught over 300,000 students over the last 35 years
If you’re anything like me, you’re not looking to read another book about race
I’ve thought of everything to help you go from an overwhelmed ally to a racially competent neighbor.
There’s no point spending countless weeks, months, and years trying to figure this stuff out on your own. You have been programmed for years to believe lies about others.
I don’t want you to waste time and money and go down this path alone without any support system to give you real-time feedback. Instead, I want to help you actually heal from the racial trauma you are carrying.
The world's most insightful educators take a complex idea or problem, show it to us in its parts, and synthesize the information in a way that provides us with a vision so clear and straightforward, we often ask, "why didn't I think of that?" The instructor, Fernell Miller is that kind of educator. She is a woman with such clarity of vision, intuitive understanding of justice, and the brilliance to match, that she quickly and precisely gets to the root.
Will have you access generic training with a list of books about race, that take your journey on a detour from the path without actually practicing in real-time with real tools.
Our course directly addresses the huge gaps in your educational experience that white-centered education would not allow us to acknowledge while guiding you on a journey of self-awareness in order to learn how to dismantle white supremacy in all areas of your life in real-time.
Tend to center white comfort and strategizing around practices and concepts through a white lens. Your disappointment comes from expecting new insight and experiences from the same familiar sources or a famous thought leader who doesn't actually live what they teach as Fernell does.
The best courses provide real-life opportunities to practice what you learned. Let me connect your family with my private online communities and circles, so we can continue to heal together.
Your instructor is not present or they just listen and provide generic advice that doesn't help because they are more concerned about their numbers and image than actually supporting your growth.

No, you will NOT be going through the Digital Course Recipe training alone. You will be receiving LIVE weekly coaching with me until DCR ends. However, if you have chosen the bundle package option which includes the AM/PM Academy training, that specific course will be strictly self-paced since I no longer teach that course live. So you will have me holding your hand week by week in DCR, but the AM/PM Academy training will not have that. It will be completely self-paced with no Facebook group or weekly assistance from myself or my admins. The academy training is the recorded training of my last LIVE academy training. (which was Spring 2021) You will have access to all of the curriculum, recorded zoom trainings, guest speakers, additional income streams and AMAZING bonuses that those students got. But the academy training does NOT come with an instructor, admins, facebook group or additional support like DCR does. This training was discontinued as a live training and is only available as a pre recorded, self paced training in my bundle package.
Since this is a knowledge-based course and knowledge CANNOT be reversed once learned, this course is NON-REFUNDABLE. No exceptions.
Enrollment/Registration opens up on April 10, 2021 at 4pm set. This 10-week ONLINE course will begin on May 10, 2021 at 8AM EST. This goes for the Digital Course Recipe package as well as the Digital Course Recipe Bundle Package. These trainings release on the same day and will be dripped WEEKLY to prevent you skipping lessons. 1 module per week.
Trainings are not scheduled in advance. I only launch a training when I know that I can dedicate 10-weeks straight to my students, since I'm running multiple companies alongside this one. Once class is full, you will know by clicking on the payment link. A message will appear letting you know that registration has closed.
Anyone wanting to learn how to turn their knowledge or expertise into a valuable online course. This training is also for those who may be struggling to decide what they want to teach to others. There will be 250+ course topics available for you to choose from.
No, you do not need to have an existing business already. This course will help you launch your own online course from scratch as well as assist you with deciding what you'll teach. This course is for new and existing business owners.
ABSOLUTELY! I love certifications! I hope you do too. Everyone will receive a certificate of completion once all modules have been successfully completed.
Although I have hundreds of success stories from my previous student, it would be illegal and unethical for me to guarantee your success. Your work ethic will determine your success.
No, you do not have to login to your training at a specific time each day. However, I do expect you to dedicate at least 3-5 hours per week to this training (less than a part-time job). Modules are automatically released every Monday at 8am. You will receive an email notification letting you know that you may login and access the current week's module.
This training is exclusively online (you can always login to DCR or the Academy training by coming back to this website and clicking on the login button at the top right hand corner of the page).
Yes, there is. You may click on the waitlist button on this website to opt-in to receive email notifications on future trainings. You may also text the word TRAINING 704-459-4500 to join our text notification list. Text notifications are preferable.
Yes, you can enroll in DCR while you are enrolled in AM/PM Credit Repair.
