"I see you as a beautiful Black Shirley Temple! You really draw us in as you… share your gifts!... Wow!"

“One of your interpreters facilitated a workshop on her research regarding 'Interpreting in an African-American Pentecostal Church’. Those who planned the conference assigned her a smaller room. Not only did she fill the room to capacity with people sitting on the floor (both part 1 & 2) but there was a spill-over into the hall!”
