What We Do
At Multicultural Classroom®, we work with students, teachers, schools, nonprofits, and other organizations/companies. We help participants understand the intersection of race, bias, education, and society. In our work, we want to reach as many as possible for greater impact toward social justice. We offer half-day trainings, panel sessions, keynotes, staff development, and more.

What People Are Saying About...
Our Workbook
"Every ELA teacher in the country (but especially white ones) needs to have your book. I love the way you have brought the voices of many others in Django, Toni Morrison, Tema Okum, and especially Claudia Rankine along with your own so that the book is really a chorus. Thank you, dearest Lorena, for this wonderful gift."
-Andrea Lunsford, California
Our Presentations
"How on earth do I unpack Lorena German's awesomeness?! I loved how she pinpointed some of the triggers our students may be having from current events and gave specific SEL strategies to help them self-manage their valid feelings about them."
Our Courses
"This was inspiring! I truly appreciate how she gave specific examples of how to implement the SEL wheel competencies to support ways race may show up in the classroom. The twelve traits of white supremacy culture definitely bring up feelings and self-reflection. I hope she offers more PD's to expand upon these ideas."
Our Speaking
“Lorena and Roberto Germán are one of the most dynamic speakers of the 21st century by weaving art, history, and culture into a call of action. Their keynote at the Montessori for Social Justice Conference was everything. I have only wanted to listen to one other keynote speaker and that was Bryan Stevenson. But once this dynamic and loving duo started, I was glued to my seat. Their powerful message urged each of us to find our joy as a means of resistance and radical healing.”
- Britt Hawthorne, Anti-Racist Anti-Bias Guide
