"A brave space to share experiences and perspectives. Was both reaffirming and motivating to continue with the work."
"Thought provoking conversations from educators who are committed to anti racist education."
"Dr. Sheldon L. Eakins is a thoughtful antiracist practitioner who demonstrates deep content knowledge and examination of lived experiences. Using these foundations, his leadership provides opportunities for participants from all contexts to apply these shared conversation to active development of practices based in fairness, equity, and access to learning. If we are to dismantle systems of oppression, this multiphase learning (reflection on identity, knowledge of the deep history of systemic racism in America, and action steps in collegial work in schools) are essential. This series is beneficial to every educator in the process of lifelong professional growth."
"Dr. Eakins is a gifted facilitator who provides a safe and dynamic space for discussing the biggest challenges around Equity in Education for our nation's students. His workshops are a formidable opponent to performative wokeness culture today."
"This is an important workshop that ALL people in education should experience. We MUST do and be better for our students and this is one of the ways we can learn how to do that."

"Sheldon is a passionate educator who implores us to do the work because our students deserve it."
"After some equity trainings, I walk away feeling overwhelmed by all I don't know and how much there still is to do, but in Annihilating Racism training, I feel empowered to make a difference with numerous resources and a sensible stance that I can take to confront inequities and to be a part of the solution to the systemic racism that surrounds us all in this country."
"I found the workshop sessions to be easily digestible and thought provoking at the same time. The focuses were narrow enough to have a jumping off point and easily flowed into the broader ideas that encircle the issues regarding racial injustice in education. I found the resources provided to be immediately helpful in application to my work and my life. I felt welcomed by the hosts and other participants, even when discussing challenging ideas, and came to be very comfortable and enthusiastic in engaging with the group as a whole. I hope to participate in similar workshops or with the hosts again in the future!"
"Dr. Eakins’s session was collaborative and highly engaging."
