What Participants Are Saying

  • "I thought it was a great talk. I learned how common it is for us to make comments about disability without even realizing it. We need to work on making everyone feel included without making them feel like they stand-out because of their disability."

    Participant, How to be an Ally in the Disability Community

  • "The myths that were discussed affirmed the feelings I had growing up. It’s touching to know that I’m not the one experiencing these biases."

    Participant, Overcoming Cultural Barriers

  • "I have been to A LOT of these trainings and I found this one to be one of the best in a very long time! Thank you for not lecturing & letting us talk."

    Participant, Cultivating Workplace Belonging

  • “The facilitator did an awesome job of putting difficult concepts like eminent domain into terms that were easy to understand. Her style and presentation made me want to learn more about disinvestment and eminent domain.”

    Participant, Long Live Black America's Erased Towns

  • "[I learned that] bystander intervention can happen at any time. As a non-confrontational person, knowing that if I check in after an event I can still be a valuable ally."

    Participant, Bystander Intervention

  • "I gained a better vocabulary about how to discuss autism and be more inclusive and empowering with my language. I also really appreciated the discussion and media about wearing the shoes of a person with autism."

    Participant, Creating Actionable and Inclusive Workplaces for Autistics

  • "Since I’m not from the US, I learned about all of the wonderful female trailblazers, and it inspired me to do more!"

    Participant, Women's Equality Day & The Unsung Heroes of the Suffrage Movement

    Participant, Cultivating Workplace Belonging

  • "Taina is a fantastic facilitator, and our Hispanic Heritage Month session was the perfect balance of informative, insightful and actionable. From the truly eye-opening (and infuriating) data points to really clear explanations about Latine vs. Hispanic, etc. Thank you for a really great session!”New List Item
