Dr. Williams & her wonderful team facilitate supportive but challenging conversations, and I have enjoyed meeting & learning from people in all areas of education. While the course is only a few months, I hope to continue the relationships formed within my cohort as we continue our liberation work. I highly recommend CAA! "
