Word on the street
The Kindezi School at Gideons ElementaryTiffani L. Barrett, Family and Community Engagement Specialist
“I just wanted to take a minute to show my gratitude and appreciation to the staff that I worked with from HTI. If I were to write a list of all the reasons that I am grateful for Chris, Bridgett, and Gina I could go on forever. From our first conversation to the last, they displayed nothing but professionalism, support, and motivation to get the job done. They were ALL nothing short of amazing. I honestly didn’t know how I was going to be able to pull off an APS Table Talk, much less two of them… but we did it! I have been blessed to meet and work with some great people.”
Fostering Family Leaders, United WayTrain the Trainer Evaluation “The facilitators were great. This was the best training workshop I’ve ever been to. The content and workbook are helpful and so important to our work. Thank you! Thank you!”
“This was a great training. I feel prepared to facilitate and confident aht I can deliver the information to participants. I believe in the program and I am glad to be a part of it. Excellent job facilitators.”
“The facilitators were awesome. I really learned a lot from the training. The teach backs and feedback was very helpful.”
The Kennedy CenterJenna Gabriel, EdM Manager, Special Education Wow! There were difficult and complex questions and commentary brought up from participants in this session and it is a testament to the space that Folami and McKenzie created that the group could respond and process with such openness, respect and care. Thank you!”
Georgia Family Connection PartnershipStaff Members “Gratitude for your work, your guidance and the opportunities for my own personal growth and for walking me through the painful awareness with compassion.”
“I appreciate all the work and continued conversations we have had over the last year and a half. I find myself questioning out loud when I see or experience inequities instead of just thinking it to myself. I feel more empowered to ask questions or start a dialogue.”
“I loved today’s [Privilege] Exercise. It really helped White staff get their heads around white privilege. That was a barrier for some.”
“The work is taking root and beginning to pay off. Many more miles to go…”
