"The DAA team created a great and safe space for our team to talk about diversity and our experiences and reframe our perspectives broadly, with listening and empathy at the core. As an organization committed to DE&I, it was very valuable for us to take the time and explore why diversity, equity and inclusion are important values for Orangefiery. We’re grateful to Carmella, Jennifer and Andrea for their help in understanding the many layers of these issues and helping us discover how we can authentically represent these values in our behaviors and communications."

"As the DAA’s first signatory from higher education, Duke has prioritized advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion in our work and our workplace. So we were thrilled to have Carmella, Andrea, and Jenny lead a half-day workshop for communications professionals from across the university and health system. Their dynamic and engaging presentation was equal parts enlightening, energizing, and inspiring. We left refocused and reinvigorated for the hard work of helping make all of our students, faculty, staff, alumni, and community members feel welcome here. Thank you, DAA!"

"My team and I had a powerfully informative and personally moving experience with DAA's facilitated session, who joined our full-team offsite. We worked through a customized curriculum of insights about confronting biases in the workplace and in our profession based on a pre-event survey. And then the DAA facilitators engaged us in several powerful exercises that both illuminated and inspired. To a person, we are still reverberating from our in-person session. And we're looking forward to continuing our partnership -- and personal and professional growth - with the DAA. Thank you!"
