Schai’s training on exploring racial bias in law enforcement was one of the most engaging, creative, and diversly active trainings I’ve ever been a part of. Schai created an atmosphere of acceptance, where trainees felt comfortable exposing their own vulnerabilities and curiosities in a safe, and educationally supportive environment. Schai’s training shed light on the way white privileged adoptive families can unknowingly shelter their children from the knowledge necessary to enhance safety, while also being poised to protect their children with their majority-status. The training also highlighted the unique experience that transcultural adoptees can have when interacting with law enforcement in a society plagued with implicit and explicit racial bias. I highly recommend this training for anyone who is willing to engage openly, share transparently, and enhance their knowledge on uncomfortable topics.

I have had the privilege of knowing Schai Schairer for over a decade, beginning at Transracial Journeys, a camp for transracially adopted persons and their families. From the start, Schai captivated children and youth, bringing their experiences to life with empathy and powerful storytelling that resonates deeply with those who often feel unseen. Schai has since transformed her life experiences into impactful programs and poetry that inspire change, especially through her work with Fighting Injustice Standing Together (FISTdc). From graduating at the top of her class at Howard University to earning the Maryland Women’s Under 40 Award and the Montgomery County Serves award, Schai’s accomplishments reflect her unwavering commitment to empowering vulnerable women in and out of prison. Whether she’s mesmerizing young audiences at Transracial Journeys or advocating for justice through FIST, Schai is a true force for change, touching lives and inspiring change the world needs.
