TESTIMONIALS

"Thank you very much for making wonderful anti-bullying presentations for our students.

You instantly connected with our students and they got a clear message from you. Bullying is so pervasive in many students’ lives, but it is not easy to involve students in this topic at a deeper level. You were able to tell them that there is no shame in discussing these issues and you gave them practical suggestions to deal with bullying. Thank you very much for involving yourself in this noble cause. You inspired all of us—students and adults.

Our entire staff was impressed with your presentation and they thank you for your visit.  

I am going to communicate with other principals about your presentation. I am sure they would like their students to meet you.

Hope to see you again. "

"On behalf of the staff and students of Will C. Wood Middle School I would like to extend our thanks to you for taking the time from your busy schedule to visit and speak with all of our 7th and 8th grade students this morning. The issue of bullying is very relevant in their lives, at school and on the internet; Your words, stories, and examples were heartfelt, meaningful, and touched our students, as well as some of our staff. It is not often that someone with your experience, skills, and national exposure ever comes to our school. It is because of people like you who reach out and touch the lives of our youth that lives will be changed, and eyes opened to the change that is needed."

Once Again - Thank-you,

Kevin Eldridge

"Thank you for presenting in our Single-Gender Assemblies to our girls. The passionate message created an environment of empathy, sympathy and caring for all. Our young ladies felt connected, respected and listened too. Your personal story resonated with many, allowing them to overcome barriers and obstacles they’re struggling with.

Your message of hope and achievement has set in motion plans for their successful academic and career goals. Your flexible schedule in accommodating our needs was deeply appreciated by staff, administrators and counselors too.

You’re an inspiration and beacon of hope to young adults. Keep up the good fight and don’t ever give up…………."

"What a wonderful expose of how to prevent bullying and cyberbullying.  The students really learned quite a bit on how to prevent themselves against predators and being a target.  We really enjoyed the experience."

"I have to tell you something about Azziza. Very few people inspire or motivate her as you may already have seen she is beyond her years. Since she has met you she has been nothing but elated and proud that you played a powerful role in her life in just a few hours. That truly is a compliment and I too thank you for giving her that opportunity."

Azziza's Mom

"You don't know how many people are still talking about your visit. Everyone appreciated it so much…I feel so bad that you had to go through kids treating you like that during your childhood. You really taught me a lot and sometimes it's hard, but i'm going to try my hardest to only say something when a nice compliment is going to come out. Everything's been going great with my friends. You really inspired us! Thank you so much for your visit…We all miss you and at least one person mentions your coming everyday…It will be a lifelong memory for lots of people. Thank you for spreading your great message and I will try to do so myself. Good luck with your career! We all miss you !!!! "
