What I really love about being in this cohort is having a space to be transparent and vulnerable to people who I don’t have to explain myself to!

I love the space to come as you are even if it’s a hot mess inside a dumpster fire! Turns out I’m not the only hot mess and these women will bring me to Jesus even if they have to carry me on their backs!

There is something sacred about women of color holding space for one another when life has left you tired and prickly.

The Liberated Together cohort is what I always needed and wanted but did not know existed.

I am grateful for the women in this group who I could not see my life without. They are wise, genuine, compassionate, gracious, and funny.

I am grateful for a space where there is community, honesty, laughter, and support.

Liberated Together creates a rare space for women of color where we can get support and honest feedback at the same time. It is enabling new generations of bad ass women of color leaders in the church and in the world.

I have felt seen, known, loved, and cared for in the fullness of who I am. What a gift to gather with others and feel safe enough to weep and laugh out loud.

Vodka is defective if you take 3 shots (in a row) and don't get a buzz.

Group chats are life-saving spaces for affirmation, lament, trash talk, and inspiring tik toks.

I've learned more what it means to live authentically in my identities, I have gained a community of sisters that loves me for all of who I am, and I have been challenged to eliminate toxic influences and spaces in my life.

In a year of uncertainty, rage, and calamity, when I've found myself flailing, this cohort of WOC has been not only a lifesaving buoy but has actually pulled me out of the damn water and onto safe, dry land. I didn't realize how unsafe, uncertain, and tenuous other group environments felt for me until I experienced the ease with which we interact, share, and support each other.

This cohort has been a lifeline - a community of incredible women I can learn from, lean on, and laugh with. I'm not sure how I would have gotten through 2020 if not for Liberated Together.

Erna is gifted, passionate, and speaks truth in everything she does. I am thankful that I know her and feel honored that I get to participate in her dream of Liberated Together.

I tell everyone about the gift it has been to be a part of Liberated Together, it is a needed and sacred space.
