“One faculty member said you were the best speaker in the eight years she has been here. ”
“...A powerful impression on all who heard you. ”
“You moved me SO!!! .....I was delighted to hear that the same was true for my colleague...many decades span between us. That you could reach us both - move us both - at those far away distances speaks everything of your gift!....you have me wanting to return to the recording.”
“Your presentation provoked more discussion after the event than most of the programs we have had in the past. ”
“...everyone is mesmerized by your message. Because of your thought-provoking information, intimate revelations of real life experiences, coupled with empowering words of hope, our lives have been changed.”
“I didn’t think that Ms. Brown’s talk was going to be that informative. I thought it was just going to be some more pushing to vote. When you learn about the 1950s and 1960s and the Civil Rights Movement in the southern states through a history text, it’s usually very sugar coated....Just listening to what she had to say about what it was like growing up in the south during those times was so captivating. I hung onto her every word.”
“Thank you for coming to talk to us. This really inspired me to keep on going and that anybody can make it in life if they just don’t give up....
It really hit me when you talked about the prison system and I realized that’s not where I want to be in my future. I took in a lot you said. So thank you once again.
I’m in here now but I have a plan to reach my goals. Your speech just makes me want to push even harder and show people I can achieve. ”
