  • I enjoyed your presentation so much! I wish I was a younger person, and I could take your class and study with you. You have inspired me, and educating me, and clarify some things that I was not conscious of. I think you from the bottom of my heart.

  • “when we’re trying to get rid of our internalized oppression, we’re trying to reclaim our most expansive view of our own humanity” (38:14)

  • Dr. Majied is one of the most insightful. grounded and pragmatic scholars and practitioners I’ve encountered on the topic of finding our way to what she calls “dynamic inclusive excellence.” There is so much information packed into this short webinar that my note-taking hand couldn’t keep up. I look forward to listening again after a very brief “pause.”

  • Thank you so much, Kamilah – this was such an inspiring and amazing talk with very refreshing perspectives and insights!

  • Thank you for your clear description around releasing shame by taking responsibility of our thoughts and actions. Radical acceptance. I as a white older woman of privilege who also has a brain injury also appreciated the mantras around how I have absorbed racism, sexism and ableism yet it is my responsibility to examine it and release from my thoughts and behaviour regularly. Creating space to pause is important. We human beings fill up space with very little awareness of how impactful our words and actions are. I am more aware now that I have a brain injury that slows me down which in turn has helped me release shame on a regular basis.
    Thank you Kamilah Majied. I am grateful that I met you through this Compassion in Therapy series.
