"I love the atmosphere. The discussions are so humane. It's not like the webinars I've attended which focused more on discussions and a limited time allotted for Q&A. The hosts are encouraging everyone to speak anytime."
- Aberon Syn Kasim, Student
"I was able to share for the very first time, in a public and virtual platform, the saddest and most painful experience in my life. This is the best moment for me because I conquered my fear.
It feels like I won a battle through sharing where I got more energy and positivity in life. There are people who are willing to support and understand your point of view, and people that you can inspire through your story."
- Albert Lee, Procurement Officer
"As someone who is not that confident in speaking, this workshop really gave me a safe space where I can express myself. It helped boost my confidence and it's also because of my fellow participants who were willing to listen to me despite our differences."
- Cara Joyce Aguinaldo
"I appreciate having an open space where anyone can share their stories and any feelings/emotions are valid. Stories that can impact ourselves and how we see differences and start understanding and embracing them. Our voice matters, so do our stories."
- John Isidore Laure
