"I just had to share of the impact Sumner McClain had on our 1st annual Juneteenth event for the Dept. of Mental Health. Sumner so eloquently made everyone, black, white and every color in between feel totally comfortable with hearing of the importance of Juneteenth and race in America today. He was truly amazing and it was my honor to have suggested we needed to hear a story of Juneteenth, Sumner did no disappoint! The work RIBS are doing is remarkable and very much needed! Please keep up the excellent work!"

“We just finished the session with Len and we are all feeling much better. This year has been so difficult as we all mistakenly assumed we were over the worst of this pandemic and have had to cope with new challenges.
Listening and watching Len makes us all rediscover our shared community and sense of purpose. I can feel the good vibes emanating from our classrooms.
Because of the zoom connection, many staff who have always been unable to attend in person (office/reception) were able to attend this year and they were glued to their computers.
Thank you to all of you for the good work you do and for your flexibility. I look forward to next year!”
