Testimonials

“I love that this training didn't skirt around 'difficult' topics though was instead very calm and clear. I also think the examples of microaggressions and breakdown was very helpful. I also appreciated the real world examples/exercises and additional videos/resources/homework. ”

Sarah M.

“This course was an accessible, digestible, and actional overview of microaggressions, including a brief history, simple definitions, and thought-provoking examples. It helped me to be aware of microaggressions and to help stop them when they are happening.”

Maureen D.

“This course is an informative and compassionate exploration of microaggressions and their impact. You have given me important language to understand something happening in the workplace. Equally powerful is the tone through your lessons. I will experiment with a softer, more compassionate approach to my work towards equity.”

Katy V.

“This is a well organized course that delivers clear and concise information on racial microaggressions, while providing insight to the thought processes that perpetuate them and gets you to recognize and reflect on your own unconscious biases. I will do some reflection and journal about my own experiences committing and encountering microaggressions.”

Monique R.
