“ I think that this was great but, even as you are telling us to be open, I feel you “win” – Ms. Dome’s perspective is it – I loved learning about the other side and that was awesome…but it seems still that white people are the problem, also you made a ton of generalizations still. That get me going because I don’t feel I am “that”. Over all I was impressed after today & wish todays conversation was one we could have had the first day. I’m stoked and honored that I was challenged today to stand up and be an advocate for my students. I’m ready! Thanks for your time today!”

“ Thank you for your passion to improve interpersonal relations among human beings through the lens of cultural respect and compassion.”

“ The argument the people of color are up against a system of discrimination that enforces “whiteness” is valid – although still complicated.  Dramatically, as pointed out at the beginning of the presentation, this is the land of opportunity. And we do not want to reduce people to “Blackness” or “whiteness”. Thank you, I will indeed be “continuing” this conversation.”

“This was great! We always have thought provoking speakers. However, this was by far the best one we’ve had in the 6 ½ years I have been with James. I will use the strategies and the challenge to question, educate, and really see my relationships with students and education. We do good work here, but this is a powerful approach to take it further. Thank you!”

“I learned so much about how to coach my staff in this process of becoming culturally competent. We are on our way with administrator support and a great collaborative team. I am so excited to do this work. I am inspired. Nancy, I want to work more closely with you. You are an inspiration! You have opened my eyes.”
