NCHE is making an intentional effort to reach and serve multicultural homeschool families. We want to equip you with the information and tools you need to successfully navigate the homeschool world, while providing a unique opportunity to connect with other multicultural families. We believe that we can all benefit from an inclusive and diverse homeschool experience. Join Te’Essence and Luz, NCHE’s new multicultural liaisons, for this workshop so you can get connected with other families and find out how we are working to serve you.

Te'Essence Mack identifies herself as a child of God and lover of Christ. She believes the most potent ministry is that of motherhood and is grateful to have the opportunity to do so full-time to four beautiful children in various stages of life—a teen, a preschooler, a toddler and a beautiful, bouncing baby. Therefore, she gladly accepts all prayers offered up for her! She also counts it a privilege and honor to serve as a wife for almost 7 years and counting. She loves to say that this life that she is living is one she never imagined for herself, yet better than anything she could have dreamt. She looks forward daily to embracing the beauty of this simple, natural and abundant life in Christ!
