Raven led one of the most effective training sessions (with a partially reluctant audience) I have participated in. Her intelligence, charisma, authenticity, and pure talent allowed her to share difficult but essential knowledge in a diverse setting. Excellence in action.
Chief Talent and Inclusion Officer, EPB
