“The ‘doing’ of social justice is messy, challenging, and sometimes not rewarding. Transformative human rights work requires skills, tools, and Amanda’s leadership support helped me in many ways.
Coaching with her touched me deeply because she helped me visualise a world of opportunities, of change, and my added value to the social justice movements I serve. As someone who experienced intersecting forms of discrimination, I felt safe and able to talk about my traumas and fears. She helped me understand how I can best deal with uncomfortable situations and build my resilience at work.
Amanda’s work is rooted in feminist principles – not in a tokenistic way. She truly believes we can change the world in a gentle, human, and magical way. In one of our sessions, she read the tarot cards for me, and that was a fun method of unpacking ideas, concepts and beliefs.”
