"Thank you so much for your wonderful presentation on “How To Be the Empowered Woman”. Your message was authentic, educational and meaningful. Your impactful words inspired the faculty, staff and students who attended. Although your presentation was targeted for women; I don’t know if it was an unintended consequence however your words resonated with some of the men in the audience as well. In all, I came away with a very positive feeling about your presence on campus."
--Kenneth Morris, Jr., Director of Intercultural Life, Cornell College (Mount Vernon, Iowa, March 2008)
