testimonials
“Kamilah is an insightful and engaging practitioner who brings profound wisdom and tremendous interpersonal skills to the table. She has been facilitating an ongoing series with my senior leadership team focused on leading for equity and improving our team health and culture, while concurrently working individually with members of our team. Kamilah has taken the time to understand how our group functions and has adapted her approach based on her evolving understanding of our needs. She is a true partner, a support, and a collaborative problem solver. I've learned so much from working with her: new models and frameworks as well as facilitation moves. It is truly a joy to engage with Kamilah and I highly recommend her to any organization looking to deepen their equity practice!”
—Kate Scott, Executive Director at Neighborhood House Charter School
“I have had the great privilege and pleasure of working with Kamilah on several projects for the Greater Good Science Center at UC Berkeley. In addition to sharing materials from her work at Open Circle with us and participating in an interview for one of our online courses, she has also provided extensive feedback on Greater Good education content that centered on the intersection of social-emotional learning, diversity, equity, and inclusion. Kamilah brings a depth of understanding to the field of SEL and equity that is rare in education, recognizing how the broader system--both educational and societal--impacts our small, everyday choices and actions, and vice versa. She also has tremendous empathy and compassion for education professionals and students, meeting them wherever they are in their journey in this work and gently nudging them forward in their understanding and actions. Her wisdom, humor, and practical mindset make her a joy to work with. Kamilah is truly a leader in the field of SEL and equity, and I highly recommend her.”
— Vicki Zakrzewski, Education Director at UC Berkeley's Greater Good Science Center
“Kamilah is a wonderful keynote speaker. She supported our annual SEL Vision Summit as our closing keynote. She was professional, on time, eloquent and was able to adapt quickly when we had technical issues with our software. Kamilah's presentation left our audience inspired and motivated to continue their dedication to social emotional learning. If you are looking for an impactful presenter that will leave your attendees inspired and motivated -- Kamilah should be a part of your event!.”
