“Dr. Mera was able to guide us through a series of exercises that helped us better understand our own biases and how they impact our interactions with others. I left the session feeling more informed and empowered to take action towards creating a more equitable world. I highly recommend Calico to individuals and organizations looking to deepen their understanding of racial justice and take meaningful steps towards change.”

“My business has already seem the impact of my consultations with Calico, as I engage in community from a mindset and ethos increasingly about prioritizing awareness of my own biases and commitment to engaging with others while open to correction, repair, and connection.”
