"Many teachers remarked that Akwi was one of the best keynotes we ever had at conference--her information on point and delivery engaging. But the absolute best part was the feeling of CONNECTION she imparted to each audience member. Akwi is the kind of speaker that you could listen to for hours. We all left wanting more of her wisdom, her energy, and her spirit.

You are an amazing storyteller! I loved your sense of humor and the campaign examples you shared to illustrate your points. Your presentation left me inspired with new ideas.

Really great questions to make sure that we aren't just slugging away doing the same thing every day. Making sure to look at our marketing as a whole and think about what our audience wants instead of just what we want to communicate to them. Thank you SO much for coming to our conference and rocking the karaoke mic! You were absolutely incredible.

Loved the reminder to think openly about how I teach. Bringing multiple parts of my world together and encouraging the artist in me. Loved your examples of creating community. Inspiring!!!

Wow!! Totally inspiring! So many awesome takeaways (even as a mother!) So inspired to cultivate community! Looking forward to challenge how my students think about themselves as artists. My biggest takeaway is “What am I going to do in this moment!? How can I truly make art more accessible. Thank you for being so articulate and energetic!

“Whether it’s a packed arena or a professional development event, inspiring an audience from the stage and seeing their lightbulbs go off is always an incredible honor."

I wasn't going to stay for your keynote, but something in my gut told me to stay, and I am so glad I did. [Your talk] was so powerful, thank you for that. You have inspired myself and I'm sure every teacher at the conference!
