Rosa's facilitation approach has created space for me to dig deep for understanding the inequities in society, and to tap into my gifts to contribute to our community healing and justice efforts. While challenging her students, trainees, and audiences to critically analyze problems in our communities, she prompts us in generating solutions and actions that draw on our passion and collective power. She honors all perspectives and makes us feel comfortable to take risks and explore possibilities.
Rosa doesn't empower us with the information and instruction, she empowers us with processes that guide us to find our own power and creativity for real, sustainable, community transformation work.
Rosa is an incredible trainer and facilitator who combines skill and soul to create a transformative learning community at her trainings. The popular education techniques she uses both honor the collective wisdom of the group and help participants deeply understand the training content. As a colleague and co-trainer, Rosa was a pleasure to work with; eager to integrate new curricular elements and tailor training material to local realities.
Rosa's facilitation is transformative! She brings compassion, honesty and directness to her facilitation and these qualities help the group be focused on learning with integrity. Rosa also contextualizes subjects and learning in history and systemic realities so that we can feel the impact of what we are learning and be able to apply it on our lives. As a queer woman of color this is particularly relevant to my feeling supported and safe as a learner.
Rosa helped us take our curriculum to the next level by showing us how to incorporate tools that open up the room for people to really connect on a human level.
