Your presentation was engaging, thought-provoking, and also action-oriented around fostering an inclusive and diverse work environment. Your in-depth knowledge and expertise in the areas of inclusion and diversity stem from your true passion for creating organizations and a world where everyone can thrive because of their differences rather than in spite of differences. Thank you for the time that you invested in delivering dynamic and impactful workshops for our teams.”

“After my first conversation with Dr. White, I was certain she understood the challenges our organization face. It was apparent that she would help us bridge the gap in moving our current D&I approach to one that had the level of rigor needed for long-term sustainability. While I knew the event would be engaging and aid the group in developing our D&I strategy, Dr. White provided content and thoughts that will move our organization forward. Moreover, the council has a greater understanding of their role in our D&I journey. The council chairs were beyond appreciative of this learning opportunity. Thank you for sharing your expertise with us!”

“If you are looking for someone to provide knowledge and insight into the diversity and inclusion paradigm, a person who can provide a measured yet passionate appeal to what makes D&I an imperative and not simply a luxury, Nika is the perfect choice. As the keynote for the NC Minority and Women Business Enterprise Coordinators’ Network Conference, she challenged our members to continue the work and used examples from her own experiences to demonstrate the impact of economic inclusion. Intelligent and wise, Nika is a thought-leader grounded in practicality.

Nika supported the team as they created a strategy for engaging our club in this membership activity.

“When I envisioned our Furman University women’s basketball “Life After Basketball” program, an event that enhances our student-athletes’ networking and interviewing skills, I knew I wanted to aim at securing Greenville’s top CEOs, business, and civic leaders to speak. I wanted a cast of leaders that our ladies could admire and receive trusted advice and guidance. During my search, Nika’s name constantly emerged as an outstanding speaker and civic leader in the Greenville community. She was everything I envisioned and more. She equipped our ladies with knowledge, tips, and sound advice on how to be successful during interviews and networking events. Following the event, she continued to suggest and encourage additional events and resources that would further enrich our ladies. I would highly suggest Nika to anyone who seeks a dynamic speaker that can touch and teach any audience she encounters.”
