"I am so excited to see these workshops being made available. Partnering with Jessamy Gee for Critical Conversations has enriched our ability to communicate complex ideas in ways that make the experience more engaging and accessible for our network of school partners.
We've also relished Jessamy teaching a summer course at New Roads School for the last few years. Our students and faculty have not only enjoyed these courses immensely but it's enhanced their ability to capture and communicate complex ideas more effectively.
I couldn't endorse these workshops and Think in Colour more highly."
