Our students had a truly moving experience with Jess around the time of Black History Month. Throughout the day she delivered multiple sessions with small groups of boys on her work ‘Young King’. Her ability to connect with the students was amazing.
Sarah Baty, ASPIRE
‘Jess hosted a wonderful Black History Month session for our internal teams. She set the scene early, creating a safe space for a full and open discussion to be had. Not only educating through an insightful and engaging talk, but then opening up questions. The team were hugely grateful to have an outside voice to enable discussions that might otherwise not have been able to take place. We couldn't recommend Jess highly enough to help accelerate your D&I initiatives.’
Graham Alexander, TEADS
“I had the privilege of having Jess produce an event of mine. Her competence and brilliant creativity is second to none - and matched only by her thoughtfulness and passion for social justice.”
