Turn good

action.

Allyship is a verb not a noun. This was one of many profound things I learned about allyship in the Allyship leadership training led by Chikere Igbokwe. On the program commited change makers were given the opportunity to connect with allyship champions from almost every part of life and difference category (gender, LGTBQIA+, religion, race, neurodiversity and more.) If you know deep down that you can and want to make a bigger impact in your allyship, this is the program for you!

We recently worked with Chikere, who delivered a workshop on Allyship to our HR team. She really helped us to deepen our understanding of many aspects of anti-racism and allyship, and challenged us all to think differently. It was a hugely educational session that really left its mark on us all, and made a real difference to our thinking on this most complex of subjects. Chikere has a warm and engaging style of delivery, and broaches sometimes difficult subject matter in a way that challenges established thinking in a positive way. She has a real knack for making you challenge your own preconceptions and think critically. I highly recommend her if you want to help your team to really understand the issues around diversity, inclusion, anti-racism and allyship.

Chikere carried out her Race and Allyship key note speech during our first National Inclusion Week at the College. She is a pleasure to work with as she takes into account where you are in your Equality, Diversity and Inclusion journey and tailored her talk accordingly. She carried out an exceptional talk on race and allyship that helped to raise the profile of this subject at the College. She also created a handy toolkit for our staff members to refer to after the talk, which was really useful. Chikere is proactive, self-motivated, a highly knowledgeable and a down to earth, Diversity and Inclusion consultant and I would definitely recommend her to enhance your Diversity and Inclusion journey, as she really adds value!

Chikere, I can honestly say that was the best hour I have spent for a long time. Great content, It packed a punch, and was thought-provoking.

I want to thank you so much for taking the time to speak with all of us during these last two workshops. I found it so informative and powerful to hear from you and my fellow colleagues from all over the offices. Over the last several months, I wanted to find more ways on how to be more active and constant in my social justice/allyship journey. I loved how this workshop not only increased my knowledge in allyship but explored allyship more in-depth.

Thank you sincerely for your time. The toolkit you sent over after the first session has been extremely valuable as an extra education resource for me personally. Thanks again and hope to take another one of your classes and/or workshops in the future.

I wanted to say an enormous THANK YOU for leading us through your session today on Allyship! It was reallyfantastic; you can see the phenomenal feedback from the participate comments and how much they gained frombeing there! I will make sure to send out the resources, as they were highly requested.

If there’s any feedback you have for us, or anything I can help with me please let me know.

Once again, thank you for a fantastic session and I hope our paths cross again in the future

Hi Chikere! You might not remember me but I've attended one of your training sessions that you've provided a couple of weeks ago.

On the heels of this training, you've recommended me this awesome book: Guapa!

Not only the training was fantastic, but this book has just been so good to read. I really identified with the main character, and so many of his adventures really reminded some episodes of my life too!... Just wanted to thank you again for the recommendation, and the incredible training you've delivered! We need more people like you - that understand in depth the complexities of different identities.

Hoping our paths will cross again soon! Thanks again, and have a great day!

I wanted to check in and say hi and say thank you for the 1st session, the team that attended it really loved it and we have had some really positive feedback. Rating for EMEA/JAPAC so far is 90% out of 100% so the training has gone down so well!
