Testimonials
“I attended my company’s Diversity & Inclusion Talk, we have 150 employees but only 15 people attended it. It’s so difficult to have these open conversations so I think Brown Sugar Talk is a great platform because it’s very welcoming and everyone can share their thoughts. Learning about unconscious bias in the third episode was very informative and helpful for me.”
“Having these discussions about race, identity, and culture get to the core of so many issues that are causing disunity and distrust in our world. Amy carefully picks speakers who are experts on these topics and facilitates these discussions with such professionalism, respect, and poise. These conversations build understanding and empathy towards one another. It allows the listener to get out of their comfort zone and hear perspectives that we would otherwise rarely have the opportunity to get exposed to. These talks are truly a breath of fresh air that bring people of unique backgrounds together in a safe, welcoming, and inspiring space.”
