LIVE on Substack: TJ Parenting Labs!
Join TJ Parenting Explorers for virtual labs for free + paid subscribers hosted by Tashmica Torok on Substack.
Hey TJ Parent Explorers!
There’s been a change of plans.
Unfortunately, we’ve had to pause the Transformative Justice Parenting Labs offered in partnership with Restore Forward, but not to worry. If parenting has taught me anything, it’s to be flexible in the face of change.
Starting Tuesday, June 10th, TJ Parenting Labs will be hosted LIVE on Substack twice a month.
These gatherings are open to free + paid subscribers. No registration required. Pencil me into your calendar and join us! These tender, expansive spaces are intended to give us a virtual place to explore Transformative Justice as a parenting strategy—building generational legacies of healing, accountability, love, and liberation.
💫 What Happens in the Lab?
These labs are for parenting people looking to deepen their TJ Parenting practice, share stories, and grow in community. Those who attend will be given:
Early access to Galaxy Guide: A Transformative Justice Parenting Portal, subscribe now for:
Podcast interviews

Multimedia from TJ Parenting Explorers and their children
Star Maps, hands-on activities and tools, including:
Tips for discussing power, control, and accountability with teens
A comparison tool for identifying harmful vs. healthy relationship dynamics

✨ What’s New?
We’re preparing to release the first full pack, Exploring Bodily Autonomy and Healthy Sexuality for Children, a series featuring interviews with Queer Black Mama, Kristianna Smith including audio interviews, activities, and a curated list of resources.
If you attend, you’ll get access to the Star Maps, a collection of tools designed with TJ Parenting Explorers in mind —available now for paid subscribers of the Galaxy Guide Substack.
We’ll also be using content from the Queenie’s Crew Activity Book. It’s a playful, powerful way to explore transformative justice with kids and caregivers side-by-side.
