"Angela is setting the table for honest conversation about race in America that honors dialogue and promotes understanding." Dr. David Anderson, author Letters across the Divide and Multicultural Ministry "Contemporary racism is a complicated phenomenon that is difficult to understand, let alone discuss. Dion provides a simple yet sophisticated model for effecting change at the individual level, which, as we have seen in the past, can lead to meaningful change at the systemic level. She encourages a safe space for friends and neighbors to contribute to the broader discussion about our differences and why they continue to overshadow our similarities." Stephen Maynard Caliendo, Ph.D., political science professor and co-director, The Project on Race in Political Communication "Angela Dion opens the door for a sensitive and compelling conversation that addresses the 300 pound ¡race gorilla¡ that sits in our living room. No more trying to sweep him under the rug." Doris E. McMillon, former ABC newscaster, author Mixed Blessings
