His presentation did not skirt around any issues, rather it offered a realistic and meaningful depiction of the current state of our society. To speak about such controversial and uncomfortable topics and receive nothing but praise from your audience is truly remarkable.

I wanted to take a moment to say thank you for last week's presentation at Kristin. I was a teacher who came along unsure as to what to expect and I have to say it was one of the best presentations for our young men that I have seen in a long time. What I really admired was your way that you connected with the boys and made them feel that there was no shame with feelings or being curious, but that there are boundaries and that healthy relationships is the end goal.
