Testimonials
“Dr. Holloway was very informative”
“Dr. Holloway did such a great job!! Everyone really enjoyed it.”
“Dr. Holloway did a tremendous job presenting to our faculty, and we have invited him back to help facilitate a DEI-focused activity!”
“I had expected a discussion on becoming more aware of the diversity in others. Instead, your model comes from a point where it includes and binds us together as human beings and I have believed for a long time that we forget this in today’s society.”
“It was a new perspective in looking at diversity and I really liked it. [It] forces you to really look at yourself and your identities and puts it back on you to make the changes personally so you can help make external changes.”
