"I really appreciated the supportive pace of this course and being in a space that reflected my voice and values. Equity work is powerful, but for those of us from the communities we serve, it comes with an added weight. For once, I didn’t have to explain that—I felt understood without needing to justify my experience. Thank you for creating such an affirming and thoughtful space."
-Erin Rogers

“I definitely think this course is worth it, especially for an individual that has absolutely no knowledge of starting a business and to learn more about the world of RFPs and subcontracts.”
-Dr. Ericka Duncan

“I found this course to be extremely helpful in initiating my thought process around consulting. Having worked for other consulting firms in the past, I appreciated how well this course broke down the initial steps. I now feel confident enough to take on consulting work on my own!”
