Dr. Kami J. Anderson
¡Hola! Me llamo Kami, your Linguistic Mama Diva and Spanish Mama Mentor. Like you, I am a busy mom. I have four curious and active children (including a set of twins).
I know it’s a lot to juggle work, kids’ activities and quality time with the schedule you have and the thought of adding language, although cool in theory, may not seem feasible. But I also know that like me, you’ll do anything for your kids, especially if you know it will set them up for success.
I change the way Black families are seen globally through language. I am extraordinarily successful in teaching and leaving a lasting impact through language. My “right away, every day” language techniques are the best methods for Black families learning languages.
…we do this work without the funds we need…to do the work!
We’re teaming up with @jamii_linguists, a Black-Queer-Woman-led organization, for the 125/$75/75 #TranslateTheMovement Campaign! 🚀 The goal: 125,000 people donating $75 in 75 days to resource 10+ Black-led organizations across the United States as well as in Latin America, the Caribbean, and Africa—communities most impacted by challenges to come in 2025. 🌍
✨ Will you help us spread the word?
Justice, healing, and liberation start with community. Imagine if we redirected even a little of our spending into solutions that truly care for us. Not only does your donation build power for movement work that collectively impacts thousands of lives; 4% of funds raised will create a mutual aid fund through @feelresonance.
📣 Ways to help:
-
Send the donation link to 10 friends.
-
Invite us to speak on your platform
Let’s stop funding harm and start investing in healing. ❤️
Follow the campaign conversations on YouTube! - See a video you can’t understand…more reason to donate…translating the movement costs $$
Thank you for helping to spread the word!

Bilingual Brown Babies - The White Papers
As a public scholar, I know that my research and expertise can shift the discourse regarding Black children and world languages.
I believe it is my duty as an Afrocentric, womanist scholar to make "good trouble" in a way that reaches the Diaspora.
Periodically, I'll release a white paper. Check back here often for the newest ones!
Feel free to share the white papers in your communities and school districts!

After doing a webinar with Dr. Kami I was determined to become a client. I have wanted to speak Spanish since high school...I felt like I missed the window of opportunity. I have been working with her for just under 3 months and my 3 and 4-year-old are understanding. Hubby is sneaking in a few words. I feel amazing! I am ultra confident and I can't wait until our first trip when I get to be in a native country and use all I am learning.

Honestly, Kami is one of the most passionate women I know when it comes to language. She is truly the force behind the movement that is going to increase the number of brown babies who speak multiple languages.
