Seconde Nimenya Reviews

  • "Dear Seconde, thank you for your great presentation and compassionate interaction with my students! I asked my students for some feedback and here is what we came up: 'Seconde was able to understand and appreciate students’ comments and took a collective “we” approach to our conversation about race and other identity constructs aimed at developing dialogue. Seconde’s style of presenting validated the variety of perspectives people brought to our discussion. She was able to hold space for discomfort and waited for us to be brave enough to say something, but she did so in a way that was relaxed and compassionate that made everyone feel like they had something to contribute and something at stake in the conversation.'”
    Western Washington University - Aug 25 2020

  • "Seconde, thank you for joining us. The feedback for your presentation was all positive!"
    Association of California School Administrators - Aug 25 2020

  • "Dear Ms. Nimenya, your talk was just what I was hoping for. Everyone in your audience was especially impressed with your humility combined with candor. You showed everyone the importance of intentionally opening oneself to new and different people and how learning about their ideas and experiences can enable us to come together and find shared purposes. This expands the number and kind of people we can potentially serve as leaders in our communities. Your personal story of coming to another country seeking asylum as a war refugee reminded the audience that adversity is part of life, and that it can be overcome with courage and persistence. Your insightful words and calm presence on stage taught us all about the meaning of dignity and its importance for leaders. With great appreciation.”
