“I had the joy of working with Anna-Liza for our 2026 Surfrider Canada Conference. Her session “supporting equity denied volunteers in coastal and marine work” contained powerful insights along with really tangible advice for our network. She is also a master storyteller, weaving personal anecdotes with strategy, which made everything she shared resonate even more with our participants. I can easily say that her session was the highlight of the conference. Many attendees shared how meaningful her session was, how much they learned, and how inspired they are to go forward enhancing efforts to support volunteers from equity-denied communities. She’s also so fun to collaborate with. We look forward to our next session with her and can’t recommend her enough!”

Lilly Woodbury, Surfrider Foundation Canada

I loved this presentation, which encouraged employers to implement inclusive design and appreciate the diverse ways that disabled workers complete the same tasks, and not just individual accommodations. Thanks Anna-Liza!”

“Anna-Liza not only shared her ideas and perspectives, but she also allowed space for everyone to find their place in the story. I’ve had the opportunity to engage with Anna-Liza for additional conversations on the topic of equity, diversity, and inclusion and her perspectives and ways to hold space for meaningful dialogue never cease to amaze me.”

“Anna-Liza worked with us to develop content and resources for a new training series to support our local partner organizations to implement equitable green infrastructure in their communities.  The training helped our partners understand the needs of underserved communities, ways to build trust and relationships with these communities, and to ensure that equity is centred throughout project design. Anna-Liza developed and delivered content in online modules to staff from 11 different community organizations, and created extremely helpful resources to support partners in their relationship-building journey. She was thorough, helpful, flexible, and an overall delight to work with.”

“She has a remarkable ability to foster a brave space—one where participants feel supported while also being challenged to confront our own biases, privileges, and assumptions. Through this process, we are encouraged to shift our perspectives, deepen our understanding, and actively grow in our commitment to justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion.”

— Facilitated Community Participant

“Anna-Liza is an incredible facilitator whose work has deeply impacted me. I participated in her facilitator-led sessions For BIPOC Ears Only, hosted by the Sustainability Network and it felt like a breath of fresh air for honest and necessary conversation. Her skillset in navigating difficult conversations with ease stood out to me. Her sessions were dynamic, purposeful and included add-ons with author talks, alongside additional readings and resources provided. Anna-Liza is a true leader, facilitator and mentor who is thoughtful and conscious and my time working with her was deeply enriching, valuable and memorable.”

“Anna-Liza and I worked together to design a framework on caring and sustainable workplaces, and the process itself was the thing I valued most. She arrived organized and prepared, and she stayed generous with her time throughout. Always willing to get on a call and think something through rather than hand back a finished product. What we built together was stronger than what either of us would have arrived at on our own: a framework that treated workplace culture as something shaped by power and history rather than something individuals cope with better or worse. She held the through-line of a long, complex project without losing the relational thread, and she brought insights that shifted how I was framing the work. She brings a lot of love and joy to what she does, and it shows in how she builds things with people I’d recommend her to anyone looking for a real thinking partner (and, dare I say, an accomplice) for this kind of work.”
