Testimonials

“As a scholarship recipient, it was fundamental for me. In Argentina, a third-world country, getting access to these programs is prohibitive—we don’t have the means. I started in this COVID context to team my practicum online and offer it for free to the Spanish-speaking population, and 100 people wanted access to it. That gave me the feeling that this kind of offering is really needed in the world and this is what I want to build more of.”

“The importance of being a teacher of color is to be able to take your experience as a person and teach of color and apply the teachings to specific experiences. In my life, I have had to deal with experiences where I’ve had to really focus on teaching, and if I did not have the practices as a life raft, I don’t know where I would be.”
