About Lisa Sibbett
Welcome to the Auntie Collective
The Auntie Bulletin is a weekly newsletter for Aunties and alloparents of all stripes, including family, found family, foster parents, grandparents, step-parents, godparents, childcare providers, educators, coaches, and anyone else who aims to live a “childful” life – whether or not we have kids of our own.
When you engage with The Auntie Bulletin, you are joining the Auntie Collective – indeed, you’re helping seed an Auntie Movement. We have robust and fascinating conversations in our comments threads. For example, check out the abundant wisdom in the comment thread on these posts:
The #1 Best Way to Decide If You Want to Have Kids Building Kinship-Based Communities of Care
Daniel Hunter from Choose Democracy has a great way of thinking about the different roles we can play in building a better future. We can help protect vulnerable people and groups; we can defend civic institutions like schools or departments of public health; we can disrupt unjust policies and disobey unjust laws; and/or we can envision and help to build sustainable alternatives. All of these roles are necessary and important, and they often overlap.
