Meet Semarria Shoulders | Homeschool Gang

We had the good fortune of connecting with Semarria Shoulders and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Semarria, we’d love to hear more about your end-goal, professionally.
Here’s the revised and expanded version:

The end goal is to become a prominent figure in the homeschool industry. I want to spearhead the homeschool movement, emphasizing the importance of community, family bonding, generational wealth, and providing children with a meaningful, well-rounded education.

By the end of my career, I aim to help millions of parents transition into a healthy and sustainable homeschool journey, bridging the gap between intentional parenting and nurturing our children’s education and future. I envision a world where families are empowered to reclaim their time, values, and connection while equipping the next generation with the skills, independence, and creativity to thrive. This is a mission to reshape education and family dynamics for the better.

What should our readers know about your business?
I am the founder of Homeschool Gang, a resource hub that helps parents transition into homeschooling without feeling overwhelmed or stressed through my eBooks, guides, courses, and apparel. What I am most proud of is the community I’ve built so far. I’m especially excited about the private membership currently in the works, which will provide a safe space to better serve this amazing community.

I got to where I am today, business-wise, through grit and persistence. I’ve naturally been homeschooling my two daughters since they were born, and through this journey, I noticed that many moms needed help and kept asking the same questions over and over. I realized I could help because I’ve been through it myself and am constantly researching and learning new things about homeschooling, learning styles, education, and more. So, I focused on building my Instagram page to spread awareness, and now here I am—with over 100,000 followers and having helped more than a thousand parents.

But it wasn’t easy. In the first year of building my brand, I had fewer than 200 followers. I had to learn new skills, like how to create content and gain the attention needed to determine if my brand was truly as necessary as I believed it to be. I faced doubt and second-guessing every step of the way, but I kept pushing through.

I’ve learned that I have to trust myself and my ideas. Even when naysayers or doubters try to discourage you, it’s essential to know what you want out of life and go for it. Obstacles are inevitable, but they should make you stronger and better equipped to achieve everything you’ve worked for and desire.

I want the world to know that homeschoolers don’t fit into one specific mold. Many of history’s greats were homeschooled, and there are millions of us out there today. Homeschooling doesn’t make you weird or lame, it empowers you to take control of your education and redefine what learning looks like.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I want to give a heartfelt shoutout to my business peers and my community. You all keep me afloat when I feel like I’m drowning, making this journey of building a business not only bearable but deeply rewarding. Your support, encouragement, and even your constructive feedback remind me why I started in the first place. Knowing I’m surrounded by people who believe in my vision pushes me to keep going, even on the hardest days. This journey wouldn’t be the same without you, and for that, I’m truly grateful.
