TESTIMONIALS
Kevin Hofmann was asked to conduct diversity training for our district administrative team. Kevin was incredibly informative and offered a comprehensive look at diversity and the role/impact that diversity has on a school district. Kevin used his personal experiences, deep knowledge base and data to provide an effective and relevant presentation. Kevin uses his strong presence, humor and real life experiences to relay his message. Our district was well served –and well informed as a result of Kevin’s training. I would recommend Kevin’s presentation/training to any district, organization or business that truly is interested in moving forward in the area of diversity.

Kevin has been instrumental in Transracial Journeys growing in its purpose and mission. Kevin is self-less, inspiring, and unwavering in his dedication to educate transracial adoptive parents. He is committed to a cause that is greater than any one of us and that is a special thing. I’m hopeful our transracial adopted children are learning valuable key life lessons from Kevin’s guidance. Lessons that transracial parents wouldn’t have even known they needed to teach their children. He has personally opened my eyes to harsh realities my children will face during their lifetime. Kevin has an impressive ability to reach diverse audiences and educate on complex topics such as race and inclusion. It is an honor to know him and many in the transracial adoption community will benefit from his continued willingness to educate and share his story.

Ms. Loretta,
You start out early at age 1-2 always pointing out the beautiful differences in your skin colors. You affirm that their skin is beautiful and they are valuable beyond measure. Your job is to counter-balance the image society feds us about skin color. You build them up early and as much as you can and then you make sure you have a strong presence of people in their lives that look like them. Find a mentor for them who is of color who can teach them the rules to live by in this society that puts so much emphasis on skin color. Talk talk talk. Start now talking about race and color and culture so they will always feel comfortable coming to you and talking about the racial issues they will have.
