Testimonals
I would say that Tee is an awe-inspiring speaker who encourages new thinking and explains radical ideas in a digestible way! Tee is clearly an expert in not only youth work but also alternative knowledge and facilitating positive, culturally relevant space-making. From just over an hour of their time, I feel so inspired to dedicate new and radical youth work for those I serve.
An inspiring, motivating, and revolutionary workshop that’s made me think differently about myself, the spaces and youth I interact with, and how I will commit to not conforming to the space but instead molding IT to align with my values and how I see the world.
Extremely eye opening and empowering. A lot of education classes talk about how systems are failing us but tell us that it’s so bad that it’s impossible to fix. This was the first time someone has encouraged radical work and framed it as achievable. Super awesome presentation; I would listen to Tee speak for hours without complaint
