Testimonials

Listening to and learning from Dr. Alani-Verjee was a great privilege.   Her presentation on Racism, Allyship, and Mental Health to over 250 folks online was powerful and left each of us with greater knowledge and understanding and perhaps most importantly, the responsibility to act.  I look forward to welcoming her back to our community soon!

Dr. Taslim Alani-Verjee was one of the most compelling speakers I have heard. Her presentation, From Awareness to Belonging, was an authentic, engaging discussion that brought the audience through the journey of overcoming racism to recognizing one’s self-worth, remaining determined and celebrating successes. The presentation in recognition of Asian Heritage Month, was uplifting, as we learned about the power of strength, resilience and courage in the face of adversity and systemic barriers. Her presentation was also a call to action to commit to making our workplaces free from racism and oppressive practices, where everyone can experience a sense of belonging. We were truly blessed to have Dr. Taslim Alani-Verjee share with us.
