Praise for TDM's Virtual Privilege Walk
More than 10,000 individuals at organizations across the globe have benefited from participating in our virtual privilege walks. Here's what a few past participants have to say about their experience.
"Words can hardly describe the amount of insight and emotion conveyed in this webinar. It felt like I was a part of something much greater than myself."
"I've never participated in a privilege walk before and didn't know what to expect. I was in awe of the content and sharing of participants."
"Jackie was incredibly warm, welcoming and inclusive. I loved her energy. The panelists were so brave in their vulnerability."
"It was a very moving and emotional experience. Great time and space to reflect on the privilege I have and how I can advocate others and support my students to overcome their own barriers."
"This is my second year attending this event and I always walk away with a renewed awareness and charge to always use my experiences to inspire and encourage others. This year was no different."
"Best webinar I've ever attended."
