How to Reference RootED with Respect and Integrity

RootED™ is a justice-rooted learning space created and held by Kaitlin Khubyar (Ms. K), grounded in years of collective experience, reflection, and care. While we offer our work in the spirit of shared growth, we ask that it be honoured, not extracted.

This guide exists to make respectful sharing easy, clear, and rooted in reciprocity.
