TESTIMONIALS

  • "Your commitment to educating the community about topics that can be difficult to unpack but are imperative for all of us to be understanding and working through for our collective liberation. Your commitment to reminding folks to check in with their bodies and whole selves while discussing difficult topics. The workshops I attended were late at night and you showed up in a very present, clear, and grounded way which I thought was very impressive. Your staff are very approachable and that helps guide folks through information that can be extremely difficult to explore. Id love to do more with your team."

  • "I really appreciated the kindness and care that Danny and Cindy brought into the space. The focus on rejecting shame and celebrating what we are doing right as an organization... The invitation to create cracks in the system and disrupt white supremacy in our daily work... Moving from savior to co-conspirator. Such important ideas and questions for us to think about and work towards!!!"

    -Drew Crawford, Positive Images, 2022

  • “Danny's range of expertise allowed her to connect with our Leadership Institute participants in a way that helped them open the door to "freedom dreaming." Danny's authenticity made a deep impression on the participants as well. She kept it real, which gave our participants the freedom to be real too. I look forward to having Danny speak to our participants again.”

  • “Cindy and Danny created a safe and informative space on Zoom for Sonoma County's Spanish-speaking community. They gave participants time and space to take in the information and have authentic conversations with each other. We need more opportunities like this to engage all communities on important issues.”

  • “On the Margins brings a critical and unique skill set to the conversations of race, equity and justice, their team's experience integrates body awareness, emotional awareness, and offers practices to help us get out of our head and into the deeper somatic work of transformational personal growth.”

  • “Dr. Domínguez and her team provide a unique training that is as academic as it is emotional. As clinical therapists, they create a training where you are safe and supported so that you can examine racism from both a structural and personal perspective.”

  • “I really appreciated Dr. Dominguez's and her team's deep experience in therapeutic techniques and their trauma-informed approach. It felt really safe to express some of my deepest feelings of shame and guilt that come up in anti-racism work. I felt held and supported in my grief AND I felt I could also examine my own white fragility. Thank you!”

    -Amy Exelby, Associate Director, Daily Acts, July 2021

  • “These conversations have been so mind-expanding and inspiring. It is so helpful to be able to explore my implicit racial bias and blind spots in such a safe space. The permission to be authentic will continue to influence my work moving forward, and I have benefitted from self-reflection upon our meetings for weeks afterwards. This has been a golden opportunity and I am so grateful!”

    -Jennifer Silverstein, LCSW, Infant-Family Mental Health Specialist, Mother’s Care, April , 2021

  • “Danny is a passionate speaker- she speaks from a grass-roots perspective yet positions herself high with intellect, poise, and expertise. The presentation itself is one of a kind- As a POC, I celebrate the message and intent- however, I also understand that it isn't received the same by all. With that in mind, the presentation eases into a hard conversation and sets the table for appropriate levels of reflection, realization, and motivation to make change.“

    -Betzy Picazo Chavez, Education Specialist, Hanna Institute, April, 2021

  • “On the Margins brought an amazing workshop. Filled with great educational pieces, vibrant energy that kept me engaged, made me deep in thought and helped me with processing my feelings. I hope to take another workshop in the future.”

  • “Dr. Dominguez is an amazing presenter! The presentation was very informative, thought provoking, and engaging.”

  • "Honestly Nikko was and is an amazing facilitator. The way he engaged with us, voice inflections, affirmation directly after folks shared their I Am So Great pieces, with a good mix of contextualizing the importance of building trust while allowing us as participants to build trust in action. I 100% want Nikko to come back and facilitate for us! 10/10 would recommend."
