“Learning from and partnering with Prismatic has propelled my work and understanding of identity tremendously. I have done a lot of research and development previously around equity but the time I’ve spent with Prismatic has helped me learn and ask questions to a new depth. With their support, I’ve been able to have supportive and in-depth conversations in order to truly move the needle and help others to review their objectives using an equity lens. With the questions, Prismatic asks, the resources they provide, and the safe space they create I feel empowered to step into my own identity and ask the right questions in order to support our progress and students. “

“The tools and resources available are incomparable towards any growth and development track I have been given at any corporation I have been at. If one is willing to set aside their pride, their growth perspective is limitless! I loved my one on one with Jaime was most beneficial for debriefing and addressing the biases I have and unpacking a lot of my preconceived notions and confronting them head on in an order to expand and grow my belief systems. I am grateful for our time together and feel like I am ready to not change, but exceed the grasp of my reach!”

“Huge thank you to you and Robert for leading us through our learning last night.  Honestly, I think the only thing I would change would be to have had more time, and I am definitely going to build that in for next year’s group.  Thank you for creating a space for our DLT leaders to think, speak, and learn.  I value you and your work, and I learn so much from you. “

– Denver Public School Leader

“I wanted to extend my appreciation for the incredible work you’ve done with us over these past months and in general on advancing equity and inclusion in our world. Prismatic has given me so much to think about and work on personally on my journey to anti-racism, both in my role, relationships with my coworkers, and in my life and other relationships. This work is long, winding, and uncertain and you’ve taught us that leaning into the discomfort and persevering is crucial.”
