Testimonials

“A great resource for educators and parents. Positive racial identity development influences academic performance, social relationships, and ultimately, what kind of person a child will become.”

Dr. Pedro Noguera, Urban Sociologist & UCLA Professor

“With MRM as a resource, my repertoire of resources for my interracial children has vastly expanded. MRM has served as both an educational tool for me, keeping me updated on news and current events related to Black and Brown youth, and a tangible resource for my children—where I can find book recommendations, reviews of culturally responsive made toys, and a plethora of kid friendly items that I wouldn’t have otherwise known existed.”

Viviana Toure, Parent & Educator

“…I love the nuance, the affirmation, & the invitation of about that [revolutionary] life…your words, experiences, stories, beliefs, & teachings are truly uplifting & give me great comfort knowing the front lines are covered by compassionate, informed thought leaders like you. Thank you so much for sharing this. Yours in education, yours in the struggle, yours in hope.”

Lilian Reeves, Teacher
