Summary
Details

When parents feel unheard, misunderstood, or labeled for speaking, the problem isn't communication; it's the system.

Decoding the system pulls back the curtain on how bias, power, and process shape school outcomes, especially for children of color and children with disabilities. This book equips parents with the language, insight, and tools to advocate without apology.

Janel Woodard is a seasoned marketing and communications professional with over 15 years of experience helping organizations craft compelling messages, foster meaningful connections, and drive engagement. She brings a strategic, empathetic approach to storytelling and relationship-building.

But Janel's most powerful work began at home-advocating for her neurodiverse child within the complex landscape of the public education system.

With a focus on systems thinking, collaboration, and advocacy, Janel helps families feel seen, supported, and equipped to partner with schools for better outcomes.

Originally from Boston and now based in the Raleigh-Durham area, she continues to champion equity, access, and dignity in education.
