“Katy's willingness to openly and honestly share her personal experiences creates a safe space for attendees to re-evaluate their perception of what it means to truly feel as sense of belonging. I am excited to implement what I have learned today in my preschool class and look forward to creating a classroom environment where each child feel seen, heard, valued and accepted.”

“This down-to-earth approach and willingness to share her real-life stories made the session incredibly relatable. With this insight, I was reminded that while society often divides us by race, gender, religion and culture, we are ultimately human. We cannot change who and what we were born into; these were not our choices, but our reality. The biggest takeaway for me was the realisation that I don't need to change who I am to fit in, but learn the importance of being comfortable and embracing who I am and being rooted in my beliefs, while being open-minded to the choices and perspectives of others- all without letting anyone else define who I am when and while making respectful connections with others.”

“Katy is very relatable as an authentic, honest and genuine speaker. There was a good balance of interactive activities and time for self reflection. Katy's authority and humour made even the uncomfortable places feel comfortable. ”

“An exceptional session that beautifully illustrated how our diverse values and perspectives can unite under shared goals. Even for an already cohesive and inclusive team like ours, this workshop was incredibly useful and impactful in finding common ground and championing mutual support. Katy Mthethwa guided and engaged us skilfully elevating our thinking and giving us practical tools we can use in multiple contexts. ”
