Managing the Dynamics of Difference
Culturally Fluent Learning
Why work with us?
The faster people learn, the faster people make the changes that move us all ahead. We use a problem-based, results-focused learning model that influences the way that learners perceive situations across racial, cultural, and ethnic boundaries. It addresses how people interact and communicate differeces with others. Once learned the skills and tools can be used and applied across multiple context.

Getting an understanding of how early racial socialization both begins and solidifies was really eye-opening. I think I’ll be processing the info from the class for a long time.
I had a wonderful experience in the Atlanta class. We really enjoyed Valarie's style of teaching through story telling - it made the time fly by. We are still digesting all that we learned and are looking forward to applying it. We are very grateful for helping us realize what is blocking us from doing better and for the opportunity to meet other local families. We highly recommend the class to everyone!

I really appreciate the workbook. It is detailed and full of information, questions to help guide and shape my own thinking, and calls to action. It was great to be able to listen to other people's questions and processing out loud, because sometimes someone asked a question that I didn't know I had, and Ms. Valarie always answers in a way that both gives the information and stretches me to think of something else.

For me as a public educator, it was very eye opening about the perpetual cycle that the public education system keeps reinforcing. I have to take accountability for my role in that and actively be working to break the cycle.

Two teachings that stand out among many are: 1. The idea of building the brick house for my son, rather than the straw one he currently resides in, and 2. Holding the truth that we all need a sense of belonging, and so many other things then come from this.
