Testimonials
"I’ve never had anyone listen the way that Rose listens. She took the time to learn about who I am before offering any advice. She asks really thoughtful questions and cares deeply about solving problems by means of understanding individuals. This is no easy task, but what I appreciate about Rose and her framework is how they both are centered around people first."
Jennifer Gmerek
Marketing Professional
"Rose is a rare gem - not only does she have a unique, creative, and expert approach to DEIB, but she also knows how to facilitate conversations that bring out everyone's authentic selves. Rose is also a captivating public speaker across interviews, workshops, videos and more. In addition to her DEIB work, I saw Rose's first-hand experience connecting great talent to new career opportunities. She is professional and personable, mission and relationship-driven - a recipe for success."

"Thank you Rose for providing an excellent training on A Rising Up during the The BEE FREE Institute's BFW MasterClass on Bias and Identity. Your session provided students with concrete tools to guide and coach others on how to become purposefully involved in racial justice work. I took notes on how to adjust my own approach to the work. The presentation was interactive and students also left with a deeper connection to their own purpose. I highly recommend your A Rising Up session to anyone looking to adopt a framework for guiding individuals into racial justice activism!"
