Testimonials

"Ali was polished, vulnerable, and informative. This felt like a great introduction to general LGBTQ+ concepts that are both personal and generally informative for every workplace and community. I particularly liked the Q+A and discussion segments!"

-Workshop Attendee

"Ali provided lots of good, specific, useable information and her slides are an excellent resource to have. The presentation was organized and concise, and gave specific ways to address the topic. No other speaker has given such concrete help as Ali."

-Public Garden Professional

"I am better prepared to handle interactions with guests or staff across the full spectrum of identities. Best of all, I have concrete ideas to make meaningful advancements TODAY!

-Public Garden Professional

"Ali was really comfortable with their material. You can tell they've done this talk many times and have internalized the content on a deep level."

-Public Garden Professional

"The training was engaging and accessible. Ali didn't pull any punches or soften her stances, but also managed to bring everyone in and present without judgement if anyone was learning or hearing something for the first time."

-Museum Professional

"I feel like I was truly learning and never bored. I think I will actually be able to follow through with my action plan and am more educated."

-High School Student

"I think the most meaningful part was knowing that there are other people out there who care so deeply about supporting our LGBTQ+ patrons! Having a workshop like this makes it easier to speak up on my own."
