People are talking about ERASE Racism’s Unraveling Racism
Training… – Michael E. White, Executive
Director-Long Island Regional
Planning Board | “Powerful, effective, moving, unforgettable.
Take this training—you will wish you had done so years ago and know you have gained so much for at least having
done so now. Thank you, ERASE Racism.” | –
Dianne Rulnick, Chair of the
Southampton Anti-Bias Taskforce | “If we only work in our small
boxes without hearing and learning from others our chance of success will be diminished. Essential to this
work is deepening our understanding of what racism is and what the effects of racism are on our communities. Bringing
ERASE Racism’s Unraveling Racism Training to the East End was central to
this collaboration. ” | – Shannon Boyle, LMSW, a white
woman who directs clinical services
at New Ground, Inc. in
Hempstead | “This extremely experiential interactive training was the most insightful training I have attended, creating
a comfortable environment to discuss one of the most uncomfortable topics in the world today. I am amazed how much I learned
about myself.” | – Merline Campbell an African
American staff person at Sustainable
Long Island. | “ERASE Racism provides an opportunity for people of color and white Long Islanders to bridge a gap that is
invisible and painful.” | – Cecilia Escamilia, a Latina clinical
social worker in a Port Washington
Public School. | “It was a life-changing event. After the training,
I was able to speak about racism in a different way. The interactive activities, small group discussions and self-exploration
activities clarified how internalized and institutionalized racism can be dismantled. I literally became a different person.
I went back to my job and spoke to my supervisor about hiring more people of color, but I also talked to friends, co-workers,
and clients about our internalized racism and what to do about it.” | – Ms. Kate Rossi, president and Chief
Operating Officer, Coldwell
Banker
Residential Brokerage | “Every organization should expose their team
to this program. Together we will make a difference.” | –
Dr. Regina White, Educational
Director of Holocaust Memorial and
Tolerance Center of Nassau County | “Outstanding training, one of the best I have participated in. An excellent learning experience about racism
and a real awakening” | – Rebecca Sanin, JD, MA,
Independent Consultant | “This powerful conference helped me to recognize that struggle itself is a type of training of
the soul, and that struggle is critical information to be used to impact change.” | – Joan Skelly – Director of
Educational
Support Services from
Eastern Suffolk Board of
Cooperative Educational Services
(BOCES) | “Unraveling Racism Training reconfirms what many of us know about differences and similarities and
at the same time, the activities and information provide new insight and make a tremendous impression. I
can’t think of another professional development experience in terms of content and skills that I would recommend so
highly to anyone who thinks they’ve heard it all and for whom this is a first experience with the topic.” |
