On September 9th, we hosted our first Dreamship Parent Leadership Fellowship interview day, welcoming 35 parents from across North Carolina. This wasn’t your typical interview process. Instead of sitting in front of an intimidating panel of judges, Interview Day was an opportunity for parents to connect to radical love, imagination, and belonging.  

The day was filled with dreams, joy, and community. One parent’s words captured it: “This experience is letting me breathe and showing me how to rest.” Their words are a powerful reminder of why the Dreamship exists–to draw from the limitless love and imagination already in our people and communities.

As we move forward, we’re reminded of our community’s wealth. We are what we need. And together, we create spaces where dreaming, learning, and affirmation thrive.

Thanks to all the Black parents who participated! Stay tuned for more updates on the Dreamship Fellowship.
