“I’ve found your presentation to be rewarding and illuminating.  Your ability to succinctly capture and distill concepts and ideas helps make these issues we’re facing feel surmountable.  Personally, it’s helped me better contextualize and understand stuff I’ve witnessed or heard about.  And, I think, has given myself and others the language necessary to acknowledge those instances/situations and the confidence to address them (whether that’s in real life or via storytelling) moving forward.”

“She was knowledgeable, smart, provocative, and best of all — encouraged us to take action.”

“She’s up on her research and doesn’t talk over (like some academics do), but with us”

“I’ve been to a lot of these diversity trainings, and this is the best one.”

“Very engaging, relatable, and gave concrete takeaways that I’ll use.”
