Andre delivered a very inspiring presentation!  Thank you very much for 'recycling our minds' and providing a different perspective on diversity issues to our students! ~Julia Miller, Roseville
I have no doubt that Andre's style, humor and delivery enhances the probability that his intended message will be heard, digested and learned.  ~Tom Kelly, Wright County Attorney
Andre has a wonderful way of communicating so that our defense mechanisms and fear do not get in the way of learning about diversity and inclusion. Some of our key managers have scheduled him to speak at their department all staff meetings to continue to create awareness on issues of diversity and inclusion with co-workers.
