Client Testimonials

This training has had a profound impact on our team and the communities we serve, strengthening our

collective ability to approach trauma-informed care with cultural sensitivity and authenticity.

Paul Osbourne has demonstrated a profound understanding of African centred philosophies

and cultural tools such as African-centred values, African symbols, and African ways of

being. Their ability to integrate these principles into practical training methodologies has

empowered our staff with the tools necessary to become effective trainers and leaders

One of the key strengths of Paul’s is their ability to create a safe and supportive learning environment.

They encourage open dialogue, provide practical tools for addressing discrimination, and empower

participants to take actionable steps toward equity and inclusion. 

Paul and his team consistently provide relevant, professional cultural education and edification services that support Black folks identify where they are, where they have been, where they can be.  The work Paul does is effective, critically needed and greatly appreciated. 

This Rites of Passage was beneficial as a team building and knowledge-sharing experience. What made Rites of Passage important for our team was the wraparound service in having multiple touchpoints, various tools and layered engagement activities.
