"Thank you for a wonderful presentation! One long term member that has attended at least 10 conventions stated that you were the best speaker we have ever brought in. Personally I want to thank you for delivering exactly what we needed to hear in such a professional and fun way. You made us all feel good about where we are as we learn to acknowledge unconscious bias that we all have while teaching us how to move forward in a more productive way."

Health Trust Purchasing Group
“The take away from your bias reduction presentation has not gone away. I am still not sure how you managed to spark such an intense self-awareness in such a short time. I think it is because you painted a picture – you gave me your story and let me relate it to myself. You showed me your imperfections so that I would be more willing to see my own. Thank you for making a difference!”

I would recommend her as a speaker to anyone wishing a general session address on diversity or cross-cultural issues.”
