I had several a-ha moments that finally made sense of social justice issues I’ve been struggling with for years. Facilitators were amazing. Thank you for being so open.
UCLA Office of Residential Life, Los Angeles, CA

Both Nanci and Shoshanna’s training, coaching and facilitator techniques were warm, welcoming, inclusive, open and objective. They provided a space where I could comfortably share my thoughts, feelings and questions, and comfortably make a mistake and trust that I would not be judged. They brought great insights into issues of oppression and tangible tools to help work through internalized and institutional oppression.

The concepts and theories are truly radical and transformative – the way Nanci explains them are relatable and impactful.

The most valuable part of this workshop is not only the sharing of valuable concepts that create perspective and connections, but the ways or opportunities to experience connections.

Understanding my self, past hurts and area of rigidity helped me to be able to understand why I do things the way I do and empowered me in a great way for healing/change.
Child Care Resources, Kalamazoo, MI

The workshop was well planned and executed with grace, logic and sympathy. The information was thought provoking and I applaud the effort you’ve put forth to facilitate those discussions: you’ve created a heart-centered dialogue and by all appearances you love what you’re doing.
Volunteers of America, Portland, Oregon

I’m hard pressed to come up with any ideas for improvement. Facilitator modeled what she taught which was the icing on the cake, and allowed participants greater freedom to explore.

The discussion was excellent. It was a very rewarding and meaningful experience. I hope to take what I learned with me wherever I go.
National Council on Race and Ethnicity, San Francisco, CA

I am most thankful for the opportunity to heal and grow. I am excited to continue my path towards liberation.
Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute, Washington, DC

It feels like the veil has been lifted! This new ability to see has allowed me to honor and respect all people and to view their differences as a means of getting to know them, not as something that separates us. I view this as key to future successes in my work as well as in all relationships.
CDF Emerging Leaders® Training Institute, (CDF Emerging Leaders® is a registered trademark of the Children’s Defense Fund), Washington, DC

This was the most informative and rewarding workshop I had the pleasure of attending. The knowledge that I have learned will help me help the community and others as well
Alamo Labor Project, San Antonio, TX

Nanci’s perspective on cross-cultural understanding was unique and refreshing. Regarding one-on-one communication, she emphasized the aspects of changing your perspective to the person you are communicating with, establishing common ground, and listening without interjecting: all of which are invaluable…. I would only hope Nanci is asked to return to follow up on this introductory session. It is obvious that this topic will become more valuable as we continue to become content providers across global culture and even within the changing culture of our society.
The McGraw-Hill Company, New York, NY

I believe Lillian transforms everyone and leaves one sensitive and aware, and revitalized to make a difference. If lasting change is to take place, workshops like Lillian’s are a necessity—they raise awareness of world citizenship.

Nanci helps people of diverse backgrounds navigate the murky waters of our relationships with others, and within ourselves. She sets a quiet standard for unstinting commitment of the journey of self-examination, as well as to our professional, collegial and familial associations.

Precision is the dynamic that Nanci Luna Jimenez brings, with fluidity, integrity and courage, to everything she does. Compassion for self and others is the healing balm she offers, along with new and inventive tools for cooperation and community.
Congressional Tri-Caucus, Washington, DC

Nanci did a powerful job in her presentation on internal oppression. I came out of it feeling empowered and ready to change things in my life that are holding me back. I feel like a new me emerged from this experience.
Leadership Fellows Program, Portland, OR

Nanci was clearly very well prepared, intuitive and committed to this work. The models used and articulations were intelligent, challenging, and incredibly refreshing. Went much deeper than any diversity training and addressed and raised much more insightful questions than any other similar training.
Volunteers of America, Portland, OR

There were so many valuable ideas I will take with me from this training. Nanci is an amazing trainer, dealt well with questions, and is very knowledgeable.
Volunteers of America, Portland, OR

The most valuable part for me was when I talked about my adolescence and the terrors I had, because you [facilitators] made me feel safe and confident to talk and find my fears.  Also the ideas to apply in my life were very helpful that today I feel renewed. I am a Catholic woman and I expected god to hear me cry at times but now I learned that my family and the whole world need to know that I am human and need a hand at hard moments.  Thank you very much.
Escuela Popular, San Jose, CA

Amazing process of acknowledgment, validation; a safe process of critical thinking.  Gracias a todas por tu gran labor!
Escuela Popular, San Jose, CA

I really valued the relation of individual to larger social oppression; that we can connect and humanize all people in order to promote understanding and growth.  I also appreciated connecting our actions to proactive thought that we should consider and be active about creating our behavior in the world. It is an active process of unlearning a history and legacy of not doing so.
Escuela Popular, Santa Cruz, CA

The most helpful aspects about this workshop for was the manner in which truth to power was presented. I understand my behavior a lot better and I believe I have received the tools necessary to continue working on them. I also feel more comfortable to make mistakes. I am not perfect and I will allow others the space to make their mistakes, and not be judgmental when they are directed towards me. Inspirational, life changing, and totally received into my spirit.
CCLDI, San Diego, CA

The theory was right on! I had worked at one time with issues of adultism and tried to impact “my childhood,” but I can see this is an ongoing process and I am anxious to get back to it. I’m thinking about some exercises for my classroom & work with colleagues.
CCLDI, San Diego, CA

Excellent facilitation – the instructors presentness and responsiveness and ability to unpack nuance really created a safe and rich environment! Incredible!
CCLDI, San Diego, CA

I also loved the inclusive approach to causes & effects of oppression. My past training experience alienated folks from non-targeted groups & I think this approach is much better at creating true allies. I will continue to reflect on ideas presented and see if I can share them with others.
Volunteers of America, Portland, OR

The combination of facilitation skill, support and excellent diagrams and games were most valuable.
International Association of Facilitators, Denver, CO

Your workshop was great, insightful and nourishing. Loved every minute of it! I really valued your creativity and application to build new relationships.
