"Syah B. facilitated a powerful DEI training for our nonprofit's board, staff, and instructors. Syah has an amazing presence, passion, and lived experience that impacted us all. Syah leads with empathy and we explored our identities. We practiced active listening. And we discussed microaggressions, the cycle of oppression, and how to work towards dismantling this. We still have a lot to learn, a lot to practice, and a lot of action to take, but Syah set up a strong DEI foundation for us to build from and grow."
