MEMORABLE MOMENTS
“Feminist Participatory Action Research prioritizes participant needs over one's own in order to foster a non-hierarchical method of business and space to welcome new knowledge.”
“We were at the forefront of a movement that began to encourage society to read more diversely, read outside their comfort zone, and do good by taking action.”
We are kept from participating in uncomfortable conversations out of fear of making a mistake. What do these discussions look like when we have the space to mess up and be held accountable?”
