What are folks saying about our workshops?

“I really enjoyed the training and found it incredibly helpful! I really appreciated the focus on action, behaviors, and steps we can take. And I found it really effective that presenters developed the actions into skills with acronyms. I also think both presenters did an excellent job with being approachable and open, while still communicating the overall message that we need to take action.”

“I loved this workshop. Learning the steps to confront in-the-moment racist actions, confront feeling of ambivalence, and embody anti-racist behavior was extremely useful. I wish this workshop was required in my program for students, as I would love to see more people participate. I think the skills and the teachings were very approachable and engaging. Even though I typically don't work on the weekend (if I can avoid it), I was so, so grateful that I attended.”
