Colin Durhan, PRIDE at Work Canada
"We were pleased to have Cynthia share both her personal and professional experiences at our event for Halifax Pride 2019. Her thoughtfulness, attention to inclusive language and willingness to employ her family's story to help others learn was very much appreciated by our organization and our guests. Her warmth as a presenter put audience members at ease, even when talking about topics that can be difficult for some to discuss.”
V.B. Bridgewater, Lunenburg Queens Recreation Summer Staff Training, June 2021
Everything about this workshop I found to be very beneficial and informative. It was probably the best training I have received on this topic.
