TESTIMONIALS
Sarah K- Teacher, TN.
Kiera Vargas and her presenters conducted such a well needed informative topic. They didn’t
just provide us with textbook information, but they shared real narratives. They are needed in
our education system because for them, our students are not just numbers, but they are our
future.
Laura D - Educator, NC
Kiera gives her entire soul to presenting topics on education. It is always refreshing to hear her speak. She speaks from her heart, her experiences, and the relationships that she has with her students and their parents. She is insight, and just brilliant.
L.M. Administrator, USA
“I love how she speaks from her personal experience. She has an insight and a gift that many educators do not have. She discusses hard topics and as a white administrator, I am thankful that
I truly opened my mind to listen to her.”
