I know first hand the various ways the academy can be a dangerous place for WOC. The retreat offered me a chance to be my authentic self and feel the love and support I've missed. Thank you!

This was an amazing and life changing experience. This was the first retreat where I attended as a woman of color faculty member where it was about who I am and not what I do.

This was a life changing experience. There are not spaces or opportunity for WOC to pause, reflect, and reset. This retreat has allowed us that space. I recommend this experience [at] least once a year for women of color...

We are all under siege... we are bombarded on a daily bases with micro or macro aggressions. Life is hard. This affords us a space to learn to cope, to relax, to love ourselves. We need this!!!!
