“I felt the most valuable thing about this training is how real it was. I tend to dread PD sessions like this because I (like everyone else) have absolute mountains of work to do and this doesn't seem like the best use of time when the training seems to be coming from not the right place, kind of superficial. But this training was so real- Vincent did an amazing job relating to us, he was vulnerable and also didn't skirt around anything, he laid it all out for us to take in and figure out how to apply it in our teaching, and even relationships with friends and others.”

— Anonymous, Mt. Baker District

“Vincent brings direction and effectively illustrates what success looks like for the teams he leads. Vincent is a pragmatic visionary with an incredible capacity for project management and a commitment to racial equity. He’s able to recognize trends, strengths, and gaps in and across organizations and systems. This is why he’s able to harness opportunities to innovate programs that can better serve the most underserved and under-resourced populations in our communities”

— Luis Ortega, Storytellers for Change

“Mr. Perez is the consummate professional and collaborator. His high expectations and unconditional positive regard for staff to whom he is teaching helps them to believe in the work, sustain progress, and track success.”

“We were all blown away by the quality of Delbert’s presentation and his extensive collection of material. Everyone at the workshop learned something new and it offered the opportunity to experience and begin to process painful feelings for individuals who had not had that opportunity before. Delbert believes that the truth, when squarely faced, will make us “free-er.”
