“Milta embodies fierce love and truth co-creating the paths to liberation where no one is thrown away and all of us belong. Milta has been a beloved mentor... raising me as an antiracist organizer, radical lovist!.”

— Grace Nam, Educator & Anti-racist Organizer, 2020

“Milta is an amazing teacher, an expert facilitator, and a wonderful, magical human being. To be in her presence is to receive a gift.”

— Arielle Javitch, Educator

“On the path towards our collective liberation, being in the presence of Milta has been truly educational and heart-expanding. She has guided me and so many others with the radically compassionate humanistic approach in anti-racism where healing and decolonizing is a synonym.”

— Aki Hirata Baker, Founder of MINKA Brooklyn, 2020

“Milta and her co-facilitators held a space as unique as each person in attendance. In that space, my thinking, feeling, and breathing were called on to examine my own truths as a white woman and to be present in those truths by gaining more understanding from where they came. Thank you.”

— Shiela DeBrunner

“Milta has been embedded as a facilitator, historian, and healer with the TEAM since we began work on our newest piece, Reconstruction, in 2018. Her presence and work have been critical to the successful development of this wildly delicate project, which is about intimacy (as she would say, “Into Me You See!” — particularly between Black-identifying and white-identifying folx within the historical and present-day context of a violently anti-Black America. Milta helps us hold space in the room for both thematic and interpersonal challenges as they arise. She has regularly provided one-on-one support to our artists and staff as needed. And she brings both sharp perspective and passionate belief in the transformative power of arts to our room.”

— Rachel Chavkin, Artistic Director, the TEAM, theteamplays.org

“Five years ago, I attended my first anti-racism workshop, and Milta was one of the core trainers. Based on this experience and many subsequent workshops and conversations over the years since then, I know Milta to be a courageous spirit who has given me a better understanding of the power I have to undo systemic racism. She has given her time and energy, selflessly, to build relationships that value our individual and collective humanity and a community that carries the work and mindset of an anti-racist into every institution with which we engage. Thank you, Milta, for the role you've played in my journey. Thank you for seeing me, for inspiring me, and for always answering the call to create positive change in this world.”

“Milta is a true educator and pedagogue, she goes into the process with the group, always showing kindness and patience. The group thrived throughout the process, and there was a general feeling of a safe space to confront our own biases and learn the tools to fight racism, on a personal and structural level”.
