I deeply admire Maryam and love working with her and learning from her. She's truly a gift to the world and to those she chooses to share her expertise and compassion with. She brings her expertise and deep knowledge of anti-racism, anti-oppression, facilitation experience, workshop design and resource knowledge

Both as a consultant and a facilitator, Maryam has been incredibly helpful and impactful for Baltimore Corps. Maryam's guidance and expertise has helped our staff and our program participants reflect more deeply on their own personal journeys towards equity and justice, while also helping folks to better understand how they can make a positive impact in their own communities and organizations.

Maryam is a very talented race and equity facilitator and teacher. She breaks down white supremacy culture and antiracist practices in clear, tangible, and inclusive ways. She has very warm, relaxed, and welcoming approach to racial equity work that weaves in art, poetry, and mindfulness. I found her approach to be inspiring and uplifting, yet still was challenging and insightful.

Maryam feels soft and powerful. Not sure how to express that in words but it's a rare combo and draws me in more and more each time we connect. She has a solid grounding presence in the coaching container and is connected and grounded by spirit and has a depth and care that is felt in every place she enters.
