Thank you so much for sharing your stories with Clifford Chance on IDAHOBIT Day and for educating us on what the legal fraternity can do to help the trans community.
We were thrilled to have Katherine present at our Wear it Purple Day speaker series. Her candid and authentic approach was highly engaging and positively received. Her stories were honest and compelling and have continued to drive positive and inclusive discussions amongst our members. We would absolutely recommend Katherine and look forward to working with her again in the future.
Thanks so much for sharing your story, Katherine and for persevering with making change for the younger generations. The rainbow community is lucky to have such an amazing woman to look up to.
Katherine was our keynote speaker for our online Wear it Purple Day event in 2021. She is a remarkable speaker, who told her story with a mix of humour, passion and sadness. It was a privilege to hear her journey, from the realisation of 'not being a girl' at four years old, to her proud transgender advocacy today. She is an incredibly real and inspiring woman. Katherine - Thank you for sharing your journey with us.
It was Sephora's priviledge to have Katherine speak as our guest of honour for our IWD celebrations yesterday. She has a powerful voice and her story and her experience captivated our teams across Australia and New Zealand. I would strongly recommend Katherine to companies and businesses that want to enhance the education journey for their teams around all aspects of diversity, equity and inclusion. She speaks movingly and with humor narrating a story that is at equal turns heart breaking and uplifting. Noone who listens to her could come away anything but richer for the experience , with a greater understanding of what it means to human and of the true power of community.
