Black Texas Families & School Choice: The Honest TEFA Guide You Need to Hear [Faith, History & Real Dollars]

About this episode

Crystal and Anthony Obey discuss the Texas Education Freedom Accounts and their implications for Black families in Texas.

Are you a Black Texas family weighing the Texas Education Freedom Accounts (TEFA) program — and carrying the weight of history, community, and faith while doing it? In this episode, Crystal and Anthony Obey have the honest, kitchen-table conversation that Black families in Texas deserve. They hold both truths at once: the deep, rightful legacy of fighting for public schools AND the real failures of that same system for Black children. They break down exactly how TEFA's priority tiers favor lower-income families, how the disability funding pathway unlocks up to $30,000, and why faith-based schools built by Black churches stand to benefit directly. This isn't a sales pitch — it's a candid guide to making the best decision for YOUR family without guilt, without naivety, and without leaving money on the table. 👉 The application window closes March 17th. Don't let uncertainty cost your family an opportunity. FREE INTRO CLASS: Get $30,000+/Yr to Fund Your Homeschool Without a 9-5 Job
