“When it comes to the subject matter of DEI and cultural competence, Nafeesa and her team bring a thorough, fresh and deep understanding of the subject matters. I was a participant at one of their training sessions, and found it highly beneficial, especially given that I work with diverse populations in my projects. I hired them to conduct a similar training for my team, and we all gained from her extensive knowledge and interactive method of delivering the session! The issues she trains on - with great passion, energy and clarity - are essential in today’s world and workplace. She is highly professional, well-spoken, and competent and an overall pleasure to work with!”

She exudes thorough understanding and genuine passion for people and their development, which is displayed greatly in how she approaches and successfully completes each project. Her ability to seamlessly adapt to different and changing organizational and project needs is such an asset and definitely a skill I have found lacking with other hired consultants. Working with Nafeesa and her incredible team has been an absolute pleasure each time, and I will certainly be working with her/them again.”
