Testimonials

Wonderful session! The presenter was so clear and delivered content in an engaging way. I especially appreciated the focus on intergenerational trauma and post traumatic slave syndrome. This gave me a lot to think about the framed trauma for me in a new way. I also loved taking a look at the hierarchy of needs, fears, and expectations.

High School Educator

Great content and great presentation. I appreciate meaningful and impactful opportunities to learn more about how we can support our students of color, specifically our AA students.

High School Educator

This topic was really helpful for my practice in addressing and understanding trauma and the impact it has on our students, specifically Black students. Thank you!

Middle School Educator

Excellent presentation, which covered a lot in a short time. The video content was very effective and educational. The hierarchy of needs is an excellent tool with the modifications presented to us, which explain a lot about what’s happening underneath the iceberg, and all the baggage of society’s crimes African Americans and others have had to carry for centuries.
