"If you are questioning your place as a white woman in the work of racial justice, I would strongly encourage you to sign up. Being able to openly discuss where I'm struggling in my whiteness and how to align my values with my social justice work has been a game-changer for me and dare I say, for my staff, too. When I can spend time building my own skillset and approach to racial justice without the fear of 'getting it wrong' or 'messing it up'? That's when I know collective liberation is possible in my organization."

Beth Shipp — Executive Director, Mothers Out Front

"What made this gathering special for me was the opportunity to connect authentically and genuinely with other men in ways that supported and challenged us towards change. Beyond that, Evangeline was an amazing facilitator of the group and each one-on-one helped me grow and expand immensely. All of that added up to a deep and meaningful shift in how I show up as a white man working towards a more loving, nurturing, collaborative, and anti-racist way of being."

Kyle Megrath

"I was struggling to find a space where I could explore my identity, hang-ups, and growth edges as a white woman. In my professional life I was primarily working with people of color, who I could not burden with my journey. New Ancestors has given me a group of women who will support and challenge me. It’s a space to dig deep, work through specific issues, and be in community with other racially-conscious white women."

Kate — Non-Profit Executive Search

"New Ancestors provided something I didn’t know I was missing. It was an intimate circle of mirrors with brilliant, compassionate guides. I had been approaching racial justice cognitively. New Ancestors allowed my body to heal because I could uncover the racism it held from my parents, grandparents and earlier ancestors. I had cognitively long divorced from the racism and it was and still lives in my body."

Julie Johnson McVeigh — Fresh Pond Capital

"Evangeline created a space where we as men could come to trust one another deeply. I could relax my defenses and share my real fears and grief and hope about my life and the world. I left with a group of men I love and continue meeting with more than a year later.”

Sean Taylor — Technology and Instructional Consultant

“The New Ancestors group helped open my eyes AND my heart. It also helped me develop concrete frameworks for confronting white and male supremacy culture that I now can use every day.”

Dan Cramer

"I've always tried to be a thoughtful and inclusive leader. But I felt like I was stumbling around in the dark, unsure how to approach certain things (like talking directly about race with our diverse team) and afraid to get something wrong. Evangeline and Juliet showed us beautiful, ethical ways to approach work, parenting, relationships and life overall. I am so much more confident as a manager after this course and fluidly putting the learnings into practice."

Joanna Goddard — Founder, Cup of Jo

"I was in a group with women who had very different roles - from school administrator, to the head of an LGBTQ+ advocacy organization, to a strategy office in a big philanthropy. Because Evangeline created a safe space, we were all able to bring in practical struggles and work through them together. I have done a lot of anti-racism work in my career and this was by far the most useful and practical experience I have had."
