Your workshop absolutely hit it out of the park. The amount of people inspired and empowered to write an oped is astounding! Thank you one million times over for being such a beautiful, active listener with such a kind heart.”

—Jenn Furber, Director of Write Doe Bay

“I found both of your presentations to be informative and fun. I was very impressed with your positive energy, and with your ability to field questions throughout the presentation. Just being in the same room with you was encouraging.”
