Dr. Baxley is a mother, cultural coach for parents, she’s a speaker, an educator, and a diversity inclusion and equity consultant. She is passionate about supporting families with intentional parenting.

Traci is the founder of Social Justice Parenting, a philosophy that is rooted in radical love and activism. In her work with parents, Dr. Baxley discusses new ideas in parenting for our current social climate that moves families away from fear-based parenting styles.
