the Vision for Equity team?

“I wish there could be ongoing learning like this.” (Antiracism training participant)

“I have never really thought about power in an intentional way and as a white person beginning to unpack power, that was a LOT!... the self assessment provided at the end of the last module was so clear! “ (Antiracism training participant)

“It was difficult and uncomfortable work but I feel more informed and more empowered to start conversations that could lead to change. “ (Antiracism training participant)

" It was a productive learning experience and my take away was practice, practice, practice. And it is okay not to be an expert!!" (Facilitating race talk workshop participant)

"Very vulnerable experience, very helpful. Opened my eyes to so much. And I feel better prepared." (Facilitating race talk workshop participant)

"Drs. Isom and Mathis were truly exceptional and different, This is not hollow praise, they were at a whole other level in their approach and skill, and it is clear they are pouring themselves into this endeavor. The tools, reflections and discussions were/are incredibly valuable. I hope I can do justice to what was shared with us and I will work hard to put the lessons into practice in the classroom and with my colleagues. It was truly special." (Facilitating race talk workshop participant)

“Thank you so much for offering us this training. My wish is for the training to make our organization a more open an inclusive place where everyone feels respected.” (Brave spaces training participant)

“Overall, terrific. We are a difficult group, with some unresolved conflicts, and the facilitators were able to keep us on task and deliver the material that we needed to start a better communication process.” (Brave spaces training participant)

“I would recommend it to all involved in medical education. This includes medical students, psychiatry residents, clinical supervisors, department chairs.” (Antiracism curriculum reviewer)

“Relieved to see this was very much an anti-racism and anti-Black racism curriculum. After doing my institution's unconscious bias workshops, I was left a little hopeless because of how very elementary and unimpactful it was. This curriculum is what I was hoping for.” (Antiracism curriculum reviewer)
