Testimonials

“While I can’t speak on behalf of the Maryland Judiciary, I can say personally that I think Milagros handles conversations on race, race education, and race healing better than any I’ve experienced. A safe space for learning, no judgment, and a broad history of humans mistreating humans. Milagros has a way of presenting the material, so by the end, you are craving more. I especially recommend her two day Race Demystified course. A must for anyone who wants (or needs) to become aware.”

-Dir ADR Director FEMA

“I participated in a 9-week weekly discussion on race and healing led by Milagros Phillips in 2014. It completely changed the lens through which I saw the world, and gave me tools and words to process what was going to be a lifetime of learning from there on out. I also took a weekend course with her on the history of race in America (I moved to the US as an adult, so I knew little of the kind of US history that doesn’t appear in mainstream history books). Milagros is a gifted and compassionate teacher who knows how to guide an emotional group discussion with care and aplomb.”
