“With the mind of an academic and the voice of the populous, Deborah is both passionate and inspiring.  She weaves a story for audiences that pulls them to the front of their chairs and helps them see their world in new and different ways. More than any other speaker I have seen, Deborah can bring together a diverse audience of men and women, multiple generations, and a variety of ethnicities into common thinking and discussion. Amazing.”

–Rebecca London, Ph.D., Director of Research at Stanford University’s John W. Gardner Center for Youth and Their Communities
