"D&I is hard work because we humans
are complicated. The bottom line is,
When you need an extraordinary
Facilitator–who is clear-eyed,
Compassionate, and unafraid to work
on implicit bias—call Risha. She steered
The conversation to illustrate the
Unacknowledged, unaware white
Privilege that was underneath many of
The exchanges among the participants,
Yet always created an environment of
Safety. Risha is uniquely equipped to
Lead your people forward into better
Territory where everybody wins."
"Risha’s presentation, Authenticity
is Everything, was a candid
discussion on how to identify
and get rid of our biases so that
we can show up as our authentic
selves. The feedback from this
discussion was overwhelming!
Our members appreciated the
safe space for discussion, asked
thought-provoking questions that
Risha answered truthfully, and
walked away with tools on how to
examine and overcome their own
biases. Risha has such a dynamic
personality that was felt even
through the virtual environment
(although I bet seeing her in person
is even better!) and a disarming
manner that made it easy for us to
engage with her. If you’re looking
for an energetic, no BS speaker to
engage your organization on some
tough topics, hire Risha.”
“We loved having risha as our keynote speaker for our professionals of color conference. This year came with a lot of challenges, but Risha and her team made going virtual smooth. Risha’s content challenged the cultural norms and we appreciated her openly speaking her truth and experiences.”
