"Facilitating open and honest conversations about racism and equality is difficult. You did a great job, giving encouragement and reasons to continue facing this difficult topic head on. Thank you for helping people learn the history and impact of racism in a way that encourages empathy and understanding. It is difficult to comprehend what you haven’t personally experienced. Today helped the audience see things from a different perspective."
