TESTIMONIALS
Impact in Action
“My published op-ed generated seven interview requests, including two TV tapings and national print exposure. I would not have responded to these without the motivation, guidance, and support provided by Informed Perspectives”
Maneesha Deckha
Professor of Law
University of Victoria
”Informed Perspectives’ workshop was informative and highly productive. My op-ed was translated into multiple languages and was the most-read story across all Vice networks worldwide for a full day. The feedback has been phenomenal, and exciting opportunities have emerged from it.”
Naila Keleta-Mae
Professor of Theatre and Performance,
University of Waterloo
“I’ve gone from avoiding the media at all costs to doing 16 interviews in 3 years since being convinced by Informed Perspectives that we do need women’s voices in the media. I have a responsibility to do my bit.”
Jehannine Austin,
Associate Professor,
University of British Columbia
“Thank you for the excellent media training workshops you facilitated. The very practical sessions gave me the confidence to say ‘yes’ to a recent invitation to speak *live* on CBC News.”
