"The impact of Kara’s talk really enlightened me to what my children could be feeling. I really never thought about difference in this way.”

"Sometimes we have to acknowledge our own experiences, heal from the hurt of our past, and shape a new experience for our children, knowing all the while that they may share some experiences (especially the negative ones) that we overcame. Your presentation highlighted this, but if we are prepared then we can prepare our children and/or respond to them with answers and guidance that form a proper identity within themselves. Great job!!”

"I loved the way that Kara developed and conducted this educational and interactive workshop. She started with helping the audience complete a basic assessment of our racial attitudes, interspersed her own (and a few audience member's) personal experiences, and ended with age-appropriate, specific and actionable things to with our children. Before, this workshop, I knew that I would have to address race relations with my children at some point in their lives, but I honestly did not know how and when. However, after this workshop I left feeling empowered with the tools to start these lessons now."

This workshop was..."exhilarating and very thought provoking. It made me re-evaluate how I’m imposing my own experiences around difference on my children...We need you to come back!"

"I have the enormous and challenging responsibility of raising two confident and successful African-American boys in this society. Before I attended a workshop presented by Kara Wright from Mindhearted, I thought I was doing a good job teaching them the basics of survival and success. However, her workshop, ‘Confident Kids: Raising Children of Color in a Race Conscious Society,’ helped open my eyes to the possibility that all of my teaching, nurturing and support truly lacked one very important element: addressing the issue of race relations with my children."

"Mindhearted has brought awareness and helped me to think more mindfully of how I perceive situations and my reactions to them. "
