From Workshop Participants:
“Something unique about this workshop that I am grateful for is that I am coming away from it with a set of practical tools and skills that I can practice in many situations.” – Elli R.
“I have been working on this field of racial equity for a long time, but I have my blinds spots and I need to keep practicing and learning. It is so wonderful to meet new people, build community and learn how we can discuss these difficult issues.” – Z., WA
“The framework of the skill set has been very helpful for me and the next step is to practice. I now feel very motivated to practice these skills with a community of people that feel safe and supportive.” – Sally
