Spectra is a talented speaker and facilitator and is especially adept at working with groups of students in ways that both challenge and support individual viewpoints.

... a flexible and effective communicator with youth across various social, class and cultural strata. — Ayari, Girl Scouts Program Coordinator

... a genius when it comes to creating space that feels safe and centering for a variety of marginalized groups (and subgroups) but still warmly invites allies at all levels of previous engagement. — Jaclyn Friedman, Author of Yes Means Yes

... [an] articulate weaving of personal experience and analysis. — Becky

... a force to be reckoned with--in a very positive way. Spectra has the "gift" of envisioning the greatness we can achieve and uniting the folks who will make that happen. I adore her. — Tim, Fenway Health

Spectra has allowed myself, and many I know, access safer spaces to have much needed, challenging and powerful conversations that would otherwise not occur in our communities. — Shakira, The Network/La Red

I can always count on Spectra to challenge an audience, to nudge us in new directions and connect us with new ideas. — Andrew Elder, The History Project

Spectra, you are a role model; people who have no one at home find you on the internet and draw hope from your work and your words. — KE, Facebook Fan

We love it when Spectra Speaks! — The Theater Offensive

Thank you so much for sharing your story and for being an inspiration to so many people. — WayoftheLiz
