"Maame joined us as a guest speaker at Language Professionals' Networking Event January 2023. She's not only a brilliant speaker who has this ability to speak to people's minds but she also has the power to touch our hearts. The work she does in making this world a fairer, more equal place is crucially important - and Maame teaches about these heavy and complicated issues around language-related bias in such a kind, gentle and patient way. She's a wonderful voice in the diversity and inclusion space, and I think I can safely say that she has inspired all of us who attended the event to follow in her footsteps and amplify her message of creating a fairer, more equal and inclusive future. Thank you for the work you do, Maame! And thank you for joining us and sharing your wisdom with our community of language professionals. This is an event that will be long talked about."
