"Pam offered a learning experience that benefited our whole team of teachers. She thoughtfully shared her knowledge in a class-style demo. She created a safe space for us to ask questions and to feel comfortable while inquiring about sensitive topics. Her knowledge is evident and was very much appreciated. Thank you for guiding our teachers through important instruction in a way that helped us all to broaden our perspectives and assist us on our journey towards being better, more inclusive teachers." -Jessica Jacobs (Studio Owner)
