Mariam Jukaku is a writer, editor, and educator. She is one of the founders of the Mindful Muslim Reader project, an initiative to get books worth reading in the hands of our children. She has homeschooled her two children in the Bay Area for more than a decade. She also teaches and helps run the ILM Tree Homeschool Co-operative in Lafayette, CA. She knows books can change our minds, move our hearts, and expand our worlds, so she’s committed to getting the best books into young hands early and often.
Reema Qadry is the founder of Calibrated Pathways, a homeschool consulting practice helping families build home-education experiences rooted in academic excellence and strong parent-child connection. Based in Silicon Valley, she homeschools her two sons (ages 15 and 11) and brings nearly 15 years of hands-on experience in intentional parenting and homeschooling.
After nearly 12 years in tech, Reema stepped into full-time motherhood in 2010, guided by a deep calling to raise children with intention. Her approach weaves attachment parenting philosophy with practical, creative support — helping families find harmony between academic rigor and family life during the elementary and middle school years.
As co-founder of Silicon Valley Muslim Homeschoolers and several homeschooling co-ops, Reema has a rich background in community-building. Through Calibrated Pathways, she helps parents discover that everything they need to give their children an exceptional education already lives within them.
