"Whitney curated a wonderful experience for us, such that we were able to step back and let the rest of our board run with it. They went places and saw things that we couldn’t go or see as we are too close to the baby! Thank you Whitney! For my colleagues in the impact space, you better call Whitney Buchmann before your next strategic planning retreat. Trust me you will be glad that you did."

Cordell Carter, Founder of Festival of the Diaspora
