Participant Testimonials

It was great to have the semi-formal structure to the process, with lots of chance for comments and participation. The breakout groups were a helpful part.”

“Angela was an excellent facilitator, who brought both humour and empathy to the conversation. She was very responsive to comments and questions from the group. She was very down to earth, while providing valuable expertise and knowledge about anti-racist practices.”

“I definitely feel supported to take next steps within my organization and to bring more colleagues into the process of conversation and actions.”
