Folami is one of my favorite people in the whole wide world. She is thoughtful, genuine and draws from a deep well. She is the drinking gourd.

Thank you first of all for creating a powerful meeting for learning - for and with us - on understanding and uprooting racism. In particular, thank you for taking so much time with our meeting information and distilling your effective past/present/future structure from it. One particularly powerful moment for me was when one Friend commented on other Friends not seeing their white privilege: she is a longtime, beloved member whose voice has not been heard much in this conversation (in part because she rarely zooms), she named a painful dynamic while still I think calling Friends in, and you turned her insight into a query that I am still thinking about (when did I come to understand my own privilege and the corollary how am I using or yielding my power for good). Well, we clearly have more work to do, and your tools and compassion and clear vision are already all so helpful.

Thank you Folami! We were so lucky to have you with us and leading us along!!

You keep me calm and centered. You don't judge me and I never feel anything but support from you. Thank you!

It was wonderful having you lead us Memphis Friends and friends Sunday morning. Thank you! You are so relaxed, thoughtful, and encouraging — what a gift... Your information and thinking helped me with a tough place I've been squirming around in recently with all our calling out/calling in. Just listening to your voice calms me down... 🙂

I especially relished your exercise of projecting into the future and feeling what it is like to accomplish goals and visions. That helped me understand, not just think.

Folami Prescott-Adams dreams of reparative justice magnified in myriad ways in her inspirational, creative, and motivating Listening 4 Justice workshop series. Her compassionate presence insures brave spaces for authentic conversation on racism, white supremacist culture, and inclusive community.

No shame to your game and I LOVE it! Know that you have made a difference.

It would take me 20 of these little notes to express my gratitude for what you've done to help move us as individuals and as an organization. And you do it with warmth and kindness I appreciate that - and you!

I appreciate your leadership throughout this process. Your energy has made some difficult conversations easier.

Folami is one of the best people you will ever meet. She knows everyone and everything (not literally, but it feels like it). She is also the queen of collaboration and an equity hero. You will learn so much from her just as I have and still do.

Paul and I just watched your talk and it is so engaging, brilliant, alive, funny, touching. All while delivering a great message. 

 

Thank you!  Well done!
