Testimonials

  • I was connected with Kristell through a friend to lead a presentation on anti-Blackness and Latin history for a leadership group. She quickly coordinated with me and delivered an insightful session on the erasure of Black and Indigenous people in Latin America. Participants left with a deeper understanding of this history and an action plan for further growth. Kristell also provided additional resources for continued learning. I'm grateful for her time and expertise.

  • We hired Kristell to teach a 3-part Social Justice Series for Minneapolis Community Education, and she was fantastic to work with. Kristell was responsive during planning and implementation, and I was impressed with her knowledge, preparation, and ability to explain complex concepts clearly. She connected well with participants and provided excellent follow-up materials. I would definitely hire Kristell again for future social justice workshops or professional development sessions.

  • Kristell was easy to work with, setting timelines that worked for both parties. She was very responsive to feedback and did an excellent job capturing thoughts to create a strong criteria rubric. Communication was good, and using Asana helped make things easy to follow and kept everyone aligned with the timeline.
