Thank you for coming to share your experiences and perspective on leadership! The models you taught us and the stories you used to explain helped me think about inclusivity in a whole new way.
Aaron Fink, Advancement and Giving Specialist
I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed your seminar. You are really amazing. That was the first time in a while that I have felt inspired to be more creative. In fact, almost everything you said made another idea pop into my head!
Thank you so much. Keep up the amazing work you are doing.

I suffer from conference boredom and overload and wasn't sure I would attend this year. I'm so glad I did, specifically due to the keynote by Akwi Nji. Akwi truly made me think differently about what we are doing in our community. I tend to get lost in the daily grind and she really made me think about the big picture.

Akwi should absolutely be hired for national conferences. She is new, creative, and simply interesting.

Akwi is a wonderful, interesting breath of fresh air. She is dynamic and a skilled speaker that made me really think more about arts/culture.
