“Thank you for the wonderful webinar this evening. Dr. Hayden’s presentation was thought provoking. But most important to me was the dialogue shared by the parents. It is clear that I am not alone!

“Providing a supportive network for families navigating the waters of the Independent School world is an excellent undertaking. I am eager to support RIISE’s work.”
- Sandy Shaller, Head of Lower School

“CONGRATS!!  I was impressed with the number of people who came out, and the number of us who were touched in some way by Mr. Lee’s experience.  There were a few gut wrenching moments for me… when he realized he lost his connection with his sister, and was more comfortable in the presence of the Caucasian family.  I was suddenly struck by the reality of my own fear.  Will or is my child in an environment that fosters a lack of value for the family she comes from?!  Will she find herself being more comfortable with the “Caucasian family” than her own?!…Thanks for inspiring me to keep up the good fight!!”
God bless you.
- Josie Cole, Parent

“RIISE …one of the smartest, most needed ideas I’ve heard of in years.”

“Knowing that Karen Elizaga is conducting this event, I can already tell you guys that it’s going to be nothing but excellent. Karen led a workshop last week in Riverdale with high school girls and boys and did a wonderful job… Anyone participating in this workshop, or any other workshop lead by Karen Elizaga, will have a great experience. Participate as much as possible to get the most out of it.”
