Testimonials
“I attended Justin’s Gender Affirming Marketing and Outreach for Theatre and the Arts session with Theatre Philadelphia. I thought I had an understanding but their session really helped me to better understand the varying levels of gender vs. sex vs. sexual preference vs gender expression.”
LaNeshe Miller-White
“Justin demands that participants be unapologetic about their creativity and its ability to heal. Justin is so capable of doing this because their purpose shines through brightly when they’re working. Your space and your work is in safe hands when Justin is leading. Working with them was a relief every week because they’re so talented in creating creative refuges.”
Carlisia M., Actor in Rage to Heal
“While creating art, Justin is swift without being careless, scholarly without being inaccessible, communal without being vague, and hungry without being irresponsible. They have such a clear understanding of who their work is in service to. Justin’s process taught me that not only can artists nourish an audience without starving themselves, but that artists are actually better equipped to serve their community when they take care of themselves.”
-Daniel Nkoola, Filmmaker and Lyricist
“Justin is an exceptionally talented educator/facilitator and artist. Theirs is a deeply justice-oriented practice rooted in authenticity, integrity, and artistry. I have been inspired by their ability to encourage and inspire younger artists to speak out about the issues they care about, fostering confidence and resilience through informal mentorship and leading by example. Able to seamlessly integrate a variety of interests and skills, Justin’s facilitation is artistic, their art is educational. Most importantly, Justin is deeply impactful on those around them. They challenge, inspire, activate, and ignite those they come into contact with through their passion, dedication, and powerful internal compass. I highly recommend Justin for anyone seeking a skilled educator, facilitator, or consultant.”
