SHBF course has taught me so much regarding post traumatic slave syndrome and the impact that trauma has on my thinking, our behaviors, and more importantly, our way of being. I have the ability to change my situation and our outcomes by just starting with the results I want.

The course has helped me to re-examine how I center my thoughts and actions.

Urban Triage’s Supporting Healthy Black Families has offered me a much needed pause in life. It has created an invitation to connect to myself, and ask myself who am I? Who am I being? Very rarely are Black women and femmes able to ask ourselves that.

Supporting Healthy Black Families helped me examine the things I make a racket about and approach the obstacles with the result I desire in mind.

In the past 2 months I've grown to understand my own integrity & the importance of my word. I CAN'T EXPRESS HOW AMAZING THIS CLASS IS. The things you learn will piss you off, but help you grow. You will be held accountable. It is an amazing Black space for Black People 🖤💪🏿.

Being in SHBF was a life changing event for me.Urban Triage helped me realize my greatest strengths, while learning traits I considered weaknesses can be improved. I have learned not to focus on my past as a bad experience, but see it as an experience that was necessary to become who I am today.

Before the class, I was letting fear stop me from moving forward. Now I have been starting with the end goal, knowing that I will make that vision happen. This class also made me feel connected to the Black community in Madison. It feels good to know that Black people who have similar experiences to me care about me.
