"Tarana's visit to TCNJ left so many of us inspired, informed, and grateful. She was so generous with her attention to our local issues, while providing a much-needed broad view of what is at stake in the #MeToo movement. Well worth the wait!"
-The College of New Jersey"It's impossible to put into words the impact that Tarana had on the participants. She is genuinely a passionate and compassionate person. Her words of hope and change were an inspiration to us all. The feedback I have received thus far is how amazing it was to be in the same room with her! We are all processing it today but the grounded energy that she resonated was inspiring. I learned so much from her - her warmth, her wit, her commitment, her insight, all so very much to take it!"

-Brock University"I have had nothing but absolutely positive feedback about Tarana. She moved people. She inspired us. She made us laugh and cry. She was strong and loving. So many people mentioned that in an audience of 1200 they felt that she was talking just to them – and they didn’t want the conversation to end. When she arrived, she was present, gracious, and engaging. Students and community members – many of whom are survivors - were so thrilled to meet her. Please pass along these initial comments to Tarana and your team – and thank you to you and Mickaela for helping us bring Tarana to Hamilton."
