Read MoreThis course was packed full of really useful guidance. Monique has done a fantastic job of breaking down how boundaries are essential to anti-racism work, and how they are absolutely political. This class was so illuminating and I will be coming back for other classes as I continue to try and improve my interaction with others' boundaries as well as my own. Thank you, Monique!

Read MoreMonique is an excellent guide throughout this workbook, asking deep probing questions that must be confronted. I thought I had a basic understanding of historical and current anti-blackness in different areas, but this workbook forced me to dig deeper and wider in areas I was too privilege-blinded to grasp before. Thank you for this and for the specific calls to action throughout in our own communities.

Read MoreThank you, Monique, for generously sharing your time and energy for this course and the recording. I have been consciously engaging in antiracism learning (and informed action) on a regular basis since the end of May 2020 and this was still a VERY informative course/workshop. There were of course topics that were familiar to me, but there was also a lot that I learned from Monique and I am committed to continuing to make changes in my life that reflect what I've learned. Wherever you are in your journey of practicing antiracism, enroll in this course!! Monique's expert usage of metaphors and wealth of knowledge and experience with these real issues creates a really impactful learning opportunity so we can all do better.

Read MoreThis class was stellar! It used CBT techniques to teach me all about the beliefs I have that I didn't even realize I held. Monique is an amazing lecturer. I felt welcome but held responsible for myself in a very human way. Would 100% recommend this. I will be purchasing other Shine classes when I have the means!

Read MoreI would encourage every woman to listen and reflect on the knowledge and perspectives shared in this course. In just 2 hours, I learned A LOT, recognized items within myself that I need to dismantle and developed a long list of concepts to continue reflecting on in my life and with those around me. I truly believe all women need to hear this message and take the time to do the work to dismantle the diet culture inherent in all of us.

Read MoreI have found this course to be a great introduction to the work required and the tools needed to engage in anti-racism. As Monique stressed many times, this course is not all-inclusive and we will need to dig deeper now that we have a general overview of her framework. I completed The Shine Box as a prerequisite for Monique's Shine Talk for Kids and I intend to continue investing in her work. This course specifically helped me uncover the fears I have engaging with people of color as well as discussing the work I'm doing with my own white family and friends. It provided very useful steps for different types of interactions that I intend to utilize. It also suggested several specific action items I can take in my life right now to make a difference in dismantling white supremacist systems of power. I am very grateful to have taken this course and will be recommending it to others. Thank you so much Monique!

Read MoreI missed this class so I bought the replay and it was amazing. Unpacking our white feelings is an essential part of anti-racism work in order to re-center black lives and Monique does a fantastic job teaching us how to do it so as to stop doing harm, making ourselves accountable, repairing the harm we've done and doing better.

Read MoreThank you, Monique, for this class. It reiterated the importance of naming a feeling, so as to uncover the beliefs it may support. Once you've uncovered your beliefs, you can then uproot white supremacist patterns of thinking (even if unintentional) and replace them with beliefs that support the liberation of Black people. Secondly, it's important to remind yourself that anti-racism work won't get done fast - it's a long-term process. You also can't be talking to every person with racist beliefs, even if it feels urgent to get everyone on board (I speak from personal experience a few years ago, when I didn't know about burnout). Don't give up on this work, but also pace yourself.
Read LessASL INTERPRETERS & LIVE EVENT CAPTIONING AVAILABLE
For those in need Shine Classes will now feature captioning for live events in addition to ASL interpreters. I recognize there is not a one-size-fits-all solution when dealing with communication access. Text-only translation of the spoken word is offered for live shine classes and panels.
