“Our team was looking for someone to facilitate a meeting with feminist grassroots organizations, researchers, and funders across the world working to dismantle abortion stigma, disseminate awareness and information about safety and efficacy of self-managed medication abortion with accompaniment group support, and shift power in funding streams. 

Amanda was the perfect person for this role. She helped us define and structure two, four-hour, bilingual Zoom meetings, where attendees left feeling energized, inspired, and ready to turn learnings into action.”

“Amanda played an integral role in the meeting planning process. We proposed a preliminary agenda, and from there, she implemented strategies that created community, promoted self-care, and sparked collective joy. Amanda incorporated art in each agenda transition, from music during breaks and encouraging journaling exercises, to closing the meeting with poetry. She communicated generously and effectively with meeting participants in both English and Spanish.  
She also introduced interactive online resources for discussion, visioning, and planning of next steps like Mentimeter and Jamboard. Members of each breakout session were mindfully paired in order to generate invigorating, multidisciplinary discussions. Amanda also helped us to implement back-end systems, like using WhatsApp among all meeting facilitators to troubleshoot technology, to ensure that the meeting ran smoothly and support meeting attendees as needed. 

We cannot recommend working with Amanda highly enough!”
