What People Are Saying

I loved the improv exercises and ice breakers. They gave such helpful frameworks for discussion and perspective taking. I really appreciated the consistent reminder that this is a non-linear process, that we need to sit with contradictions, and that learning is continuous.

— August 2022 Participant

Nicole, you are such a great facilitator! I loved being in such a safe space for sharing and learning. I'm so glad to see that we'll be continuing to engage with this group because this course really taught me the value of doing this work in community. I think it's really going to help me, and I hope the rest of the participants, to grow in our strength as anti-racist advocates moving forward.

— NOVEMBER 2021 Participant

This course helped me design and develop a DEI group and gave me tools to address pushback from senior leadership. I appreciated the opportunity to learn and grow.
