“What you have created is truly profound and it was a literal dream come true to be able to take the seminar with you! I really feel that is a blessing to be able to share you to my circle!”
– Meenal K, CA
“Race Demystified workshop moved me deeply, on multiple levels – intellectual, emotional, somatic and energetic. I’d already done a good deal of self-study, group-study and organized Antiracism programming, but this was unique — I was struck by the depth and range of the work, how much it impacted and stayed with me, and how such deep results could be reached in such a short period of time. I believe that has everything to do with the embrace of emotional processing and compassion, which is an important, and often overlooked, part of this work. For all of that, I am deeply grateful. Thank you, Milagros, for leading and modeling a truly effective way to move forward.”
– Kellee Educei
“I continue to process the workshop, the layers of wisdom and truths, and the personal experiences of individual participants. It was a blessing to participate and be in your presence, experiencing your compassion, patience, strength and wisdom. The way you wove together and exposed us to the epic truths of racism over time, and then brought it down to the individual experience was profound, healing and illuminating – mind, heart and body.”
– Amanda S.
