Testimonial

"Dr. Debi, your IST of an ISM work is incredible and has resonated so much with the Black, Brown, Indigenous and other systemically non-dominant (Jenkins, 1995-present) folx we train. Your paradigm challenges white supremacy and reframes critical conversations. Your work has been an essential part of my journey as a white person and remains at the root of the social justice lens and work I do today. You and your work are brilliant! You and your book are such gifts to me and our world!"~ Molly Kennedy, M.Ed., MSW, Social Worker and Social Justice Researcher, Co-Founder of The End in Mind, LLC
