Seconde Nimenya

“"Dear Seconde, thank you for your great presentation and compassionate interaction with my students! I asked my students for some feedback and here is what we came up: 'Seconde was able to understand and appreciate students’ comments and took a collective “we” approach to our conversation about race and other identity constructs aimed at developing dialogue. Seconde’s style of presenting validated the variety of perspectives people brought to our discussion. She was able to hold space for discomfort and waited for us to be brave enough to say something, but she did so in a way that was relaxed and compassionate that made everyone feel like they had something to contribute and something at stake in the conversation.'” ”
