“I had spent time looking for trainings and did not feel moved by what I had found or the interactions I experienced, but when I came across Cornerstone, I knew I had found the right course. Thank you for the spotlight you put on birth rights advocacy and the inequalities faced by women of color, particularly Black women. Thank you for your mindfulness. My identity intersects at many points, and my whole self felt seen throughout this training.”
