Mishawnda Mintz is the CEO & Co-Founder of WhatupHomee LLC, a 16-year homeschooling veteran, and mother of 4 (3 still at home).
In 2019, she and her husband James created WhatupHomee to make it easier to connect, chat, share resources, and meet up virtually with Black homeschoolers locally and nationally.
Fall of 2020 they launched The WhatupHomee Collaborative, a community marketplace and online class platform made up of homeschool educators, public school educators, entrepreneurs, and professionals working together to provide Black students all over the world with access to culturally relevant educational opportunities.
Additionally, Mishawnda and her husband operate a real estate investment company called InvestMintz Properties, LLC. They find, fix, and flip properties in the KC metropolitan area.
She is also proud to serve as a board member for Base Academy of Music (BAM)– a local non-profit organization that makes learning to play a musical instrument accessible and affordable for urban youth.
The name WhatupHomee is a vibe. It’s that feeling you experience when you connect with another home educator (Homee) that shares your culture and values, and therefore can more relate to your home education experiences.
Join the WhatupHomee community to connect with other Homee(s) in your area.
