  • "We don’t always get to have these conversations and sit-downs where shame isn't at the center of learning."

  • "People are often terrified of how to have conversations about race. Betty brought a different kind of experience that is warm, accessible, and enriching while gracefully embracing that these talks can also be uncomfortable."

  • "Hearing others’ stories helped me realize the assumptions I had about community and connection. "

  • “This workshop gave me a foundation to explore how race shaped my relationships. It opened my eyes in a way that felt different from other conversations I’ve had.
