Ainka adapts with ease to each group she works with and the needs they have at any given moment. Whether she is facilitating a restorative circle or a journey through civil rights or the Legacy Museum experience, she simultaneously plans with precision and is attuned in the moment to the needs of participants.

‘Ainka Jackson is an American treasure. She is a luminous and spellbinding teacher, a deeply compassionate, fiercely righteous activist and a bedrock force of goodness. Her old-world soul not only summons prophetic visions of America at its very best, she points us towards healing and redemptive practices and pathways that will actualize those visions.’

 

-Rabbi Michael Lezak, Director of GLIDE’s Center for Social Justice
