“Dr. Shayla Walker presented on this topic last year and it was even more relevant this year!!!! Her presentation gives Black women a rare and much needed space to develop personally AND professionally, all while creating community for us all. This presentation is the reason I became interested in attending this conference. Can’t wait until next year!!!

From Continuing Education Participants

“The instructor was incredibly competent. NO doubt that she knows her stuff. The activities were great and I appreciated the reflection exercises.”

“I definitely feel like I understand a ton more about these topics and strategies now that I’ve taken this course. Since I identify as a white woman, it was extremely helpful to learn about these topics, especially from someone who identifies as a strong black woman. A lot of time, determining strategies to give to strong black women is harder for me personally, but the self-determination piece is really value here. I think hearing more about topics that I know a surface level amount about helps with these difficulties.”

“I really enjoyed the topic. I thought the relationship between ethics, morals, and values flowed seamlessly into the topic of pacifism, violence, and nonviolence. It probably isn’t something that I would have thought about pairing together; it was great!!”

“The slides were well put together and all topics were explained thoroughly. I appreciated the use of examples to demonstrate ideas/theories. The course felt well prepared and had a knowledgeable instructor.”

“The course was well organized and curated to the topic at hand. It increased my knowledge and interest in learning more on how to better support my clients.”
