- Carol Turner, clinical psychologist

“This seminar was so helpful to me. Anti-racism is a skill, and this training was an opportunity to improve my skill.  I learned through conversations with others on this call that there are techniques we can use to become better at being advocates for Black lives and social justice.  This training will help you grow: think of it like a booster pack.  It will educate you, motivate you, and inspire you!”

University of Pennsylvania

“‘A Long Talk’ is a powerful look at this country’s history founded on the concept of the supremacy of whites and the utilization of Black people to build the economy that would lead to the US becoming the richest in the world. It provides the context for why we are where we currently are in terms of racial inequality. It pushes each of us to confront our complicity in the status quo and make a choice to stand on the side of racial injustice and inequality or join the fight and become an anti-racist ally committed to act in impactful ways.”

- Nat Graham, Assistant Coach,
University of Pennsylvania

“I've been involved in quite a few antiracism learning communities, and this one is special. It packs a lot into a short time, and the focus is always on moving forward together and not getting dragged down by our collective national history. The facilitators are excellent. All participants leave with renewed energy and tools we can use to move our communities forward.”

- Janelle Wertzberger, Assistant Dean
and Director of Scholarly Communications,
Gettysburg College

“I’ve been here for 17 years and I think these three sessions have been the most meaningful and important conversations I have had with my colleagues in that time. I am truly grateful."

- Lynda Tealer, Executive Associate Athletics Director, University of Florida

“Kyle Williams created a space for literal strangers to let down their guard and open their hearts and minds to learn about the history of racism in America. ‘A Long Talk’ is an essential program for anyone who wants to learn how they can play a role in dismantling racism on the path to creating an anti-racist society. We are all responsible for doing our part and ‘A Long Talk’ provides the platform and the tools to do so.”

- Reyna Gilbert-Lowry,
Senior Associate Athletic Director,
Student-Athlete Development/SWA, VA Tech

“Simply the best seminar I've participated in on any topic. Great pre work materials that served to help educate me. Excellent speakers, slides, questions, and videos embedded in the presentation. Productive break-out room discussions. Kyle Williams is an excellent facilitator. The first day when he kept 90 coaches engaged through questions and use of the chat feature on Zoom was great. I would highly recommend it to anyone. Beyond that, I left the 3 day experience more passionate, committed, and armed with some resources to help me become a better front line soldier.”

- Dave Paulsen, Head Coach,
George Mason University

“A Long Talk About the Uncomfortable Truth’ is one of the most transformational, DEI experiences I’ve ever had the privilege of participating in, and certainly the most influential anti-racism training I’ve ever done. Kyle and Kamal are inspired and are pure educators at their core. From the pre-work to the role plays, their curriculum is informative, relevant, immediately applicable, and empowering. They welcome everyone to the table, invite everyone to embrace where they are in their anti-racism journey, and illustrate how exactly to take the next step forward.”

-Whitney Johnson, Associate Athletic Director, Student Athlete Development, Diversity and Inclusion, Brigham Young University
