"This was a great workshop. I learned about things that I had no idea would affect my child. Everything was broken down in a way that I’ll be able to use in my household. The material was very helpful and I can’t wait to use the information and resources to help my child become all of the things I have in mind for the future.”

“I have been building developmental assets for 15 years. This is the best developmental asset training I have ever participated in.”

“This workshop was excellent. I think you should visit every school in Baltimore City. The parents could definitely benefit from the workshop.”

“This workshop was a breath of fresh air. I really could have used this 19 years ago but very happy to have now. This presentation should be an all day one. There is so much information we probably did not even get the opportunity to get to. Thankful for the frankness, knowledge and overall delivery from the presenter.”

“Presenter is contagious. Great spirit and filled with knowledge. Was very thorough in making sure that her information was received and digested by all.”
