Don't take my word for it . . .
What participants had to say!
"(this) is an incredible experience for educators and humans in general who want to understand the systems that play into the current context of western society.
It is important for all people to get to the base understanding of white supremacy culture before we can begin to move forward in a productive way. Also, content is organized and explained in an incredibly lovely way.
I highly recommend this (...) to anyone who works with other humans!
