Testimonials "I just wanted to thank you again for the amazing talk you gave in my Women and Sexuality class and the presentation on Beyond Binaries. I love that you get the audience involved; you're just as interested in our stories as we are in yours and that truly makes a wonderful speaker and role model." - Julie Sullivan, University of Wisconsin Stevens Point"You are soooooo AWESOME! Best two hours I ever sat still through! You are truly the most engaging speaker I've ever had the pleasure of experiencing. Thanks so much!!! - Chevy Ocasio, Kutztown University, PA "Your workshops are always so interesting and thought provoking, but so incredibly uplifting as well. You make people feel like they matter and that they have the power to do something about the issues that concern them, even if it's something small on an individual level. That is a beautiful gift." - Kristen Smith, student, The University at Albany"On behalf of the Times Company's GLBT & Allies Network, THANK YOU again for your superlative presentation today! You were wonderful - funny, disarming, inspiring and full of insights. The feedback we received afterward was highly complimentary. We couldn't be prouder to showcase you and hope the enclosed poster serves an ongoing reminder of this very productive event." - Tom Kulaga, Co-Chair, GLBT & Allies Network, New York Times Company"Many campuses would like to create a more inclusive and supportive environment for bisexual students and faculty, but aren't sure how to accomplish this. Robyn Ochs, noted author and activist, can help you put the B into LGBT. A long-time professional speaker and workshop facilitator, her workshops get people thinking about gender, sexual orientation, labels and identity, about building coalitions and alliances and about taking positive action...
Robyn Ochs makes the most of her time on your campus, usually doing two or more programs: a talk, a workshop, speaking in a class or two, or doing a special program for residence life, counseling or student activities staff. This is in addition to spending as much time as possible with the students. As someone poised at the intersection of theory and action, Ochs introduces complex ideas in an energetic and accessible manner, and she leaves her audiences thinking and poised for action." - Generation EQAdditional Testimonials >> |
