• “Calvin's presentation and facilitated conversation, which centered around understanding implicit bias in education, was a pivotal experience for our teachers and staff. Calvin's experience and expertise in this domain were obvious throughout the planning process, as well as in session; we were confident in his work the entire time! The preparation materials that he provided our staff were instrumental to framing the workshop, and the workshop itself offered our teachers a supportive opportunity to explore critical conversation around challenging topics, while also challenging comfort zones and prompting accountability to self-inquiry. Calvin's work is invaluable, and is an asset to our community at the individual and collective level!"

  • “We are grateful to Calvin and 540WMain for providing an open, honest, and judgement-free atmosphere on our path of exploration to identify how to build the core values of diversity, equity, and inclusion into all our operations, as well as model those values as we advance our mission in support of BIPOC families with autism in our local community. Calvin’s passion for educating the nonprofit sector in embracing diversity, equity, and inclusion as organizational values, is a way to intentionally make space for positive outcomes, and has been invaluable to the Golisano Autism Center. We urge fellow nonprofits to take part in this work with him.”

    — Beth, Director | Golisano Autism Center
