Anti-Oppression
Cohorts
"In.Visible Paradigms navigated a delicate line between understanding 'where we were coming from' and challenging us to change our way of thinking. The facilitator was respectful yet firm. It was sometimes hard to hear, but when I finally understood her point of view, it was eye opening and extremely impactful. I can't unsee what In.Visible Paradigms has shown me." - Cohort Participant
