“Auri is a charismatic, emphatic, and deeply caring educator. Auri engaged with our community thoughtfully and effectively, especially in differentiating the message and content for our adult and student communities. Most empowering for our community was expanding our common understanding of the diversity of identities on continuums of gender, sex, and sexuality that increased, not diminished, our community’s ability to genuinely include and make space for difference and expand students' sense of belonging in our school.”

- Christopher Barnes, Head of School at Midland School

“Mx. Auri East’s keen ability to engage their audience and share their expertise is one of the

major reasons why we continue to involve them in our Alzar School programming. We’ll look

forward to welcoming them back in future Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Staff Trainings.”

- Asiah Allen, Director of Student Life, Equity, and Belonging at Alzar School

Auri was a fantastic facilitator, who helped unpack complex and important topics for our faculty/staff in a comprehensible way that allowed them to better understand (and thus be able to support) the experience of our students. Auri took the time to deeply consider the needs of our organization and worked to create sessions that were suited to our unique context and climate. I wholeheartedly recommend Auri's workshops to other schools/organizations.

- Michael Ervin, Director of Semester Program at Alzar School

Mx. Auri East creates a comfortable environment in which everyone can learn about gender identity, sexuality, and allyship. They make it easy for people to ask any question about a subject many find difficult to talk about. Auri's experience as a teacher and guide compliments their education and research to bring a thoughtful and approachable framework for any group to gain a deeper and clearer understanding.

- Shannon Walton, Executive Director at The Redside Foundation

Auri’s ability to take something like “the dominant narrative” and break it down into simple yet enlightening exercises was eye opening to this 50-year cisgender male. I sincerely want to create a more inclusive workplace, and Auri’s training was a great step in that direction.

- Dennis Smoldt, General Manager at Arizona Raft Adventures

Auri is an extraordinary facilitator and educator. They have an empathetic and charismatic way of disarming a group and fostering a safe space for discussing complex, challenging topics. Auri's remarkable personability and perceptiveness translates to their work as a facilitator. They considered the needs and nuances of our organization and thoughtfully crafted a reflective workshop to help us unpack and elevate our understanding of gender identity and allyship. The experience was deeply insightful and empowering.
