I feel very profoundly how rare it is to be in a space where I'm able to truly hear and feel what everyone else is saying,
as well as feel heard myself. I feel that this has helped
me find the understanding and direction I was hoping for.
"Wow! Thank you so much for facilitating and holding the space for teaching and sharing with all of us. You are engaging and compassionate, allowing us to feel, learn from our mistakes, and learn about the important steps to take to
dismantle racism."
