Love from our Community
“In the past few years, I've returned often to what I learned through workshops and programs to help me make sense of our current political climate. BRJA's work allows me to have meaningful conversations about race and power that have transformed how I collaborate and build with others.”
- Bonnie Jones (Learning Community Member)
“Working with BRJA, I have learned that nothing is neutral when it comes to race. Not finances, meeting dynamics, HR practices, marketing materials. So it's best and bravest to name it up front, and decide how you will work with it.”
- Amanda Stanley (Founder/CEO - The Artisan Leader)
“They taught me that this work is both personal and communal and that accountability is part and parcel of working against racism & other forms of oppression. BRJA continues to be a source of not only knowledge but also a place of healing.”
- Julia Scott (Board Member)
“We have partnered with BRJA on a grant to facilitate AR/AO workshops with human service professionals. BRJA has deep knowledge about AR/AO and an equally deep commitment to supporting groups and organizations in developing their own knowledge.”
- Wendy Shaia (Executive Director, The Center of Restorative Change)
“BRJA gave me a profound education by providing a deep dive into history, culture, identity, economics, and many more aspects of racism. My experience in BRJA was foundational to my analysis of racism and the values I carry with me more than a decade later.”
- Betsy Merbitz (Former Learning Community Member)
“BRJA's 13th of the Month Events armed me with resistance strategies that I will use for the rest of my life. It's always an honor to be in a learning space that is the epicenter for racial justice learning in Baltimore.”
- Anthony Newman (Emeritus Board Member)
