Trudi and Nadine’s skills, experience and values surpassed all expectations we had when looking for media training for the Association of Neighbourhood Houses. Their feminist, anti-racist and decolonized approach to communicating and responding to the press, aligned with our values and the way neighbourhood houses engage within our communities. We have since put the media trainings to the test and couldn’t be happier with the confidence and skills Nadine and Trudi have given us.

Ablaze Services supported us in crafting our communications strategy and plan. Each step of the way they encouraged us to lead with our values and to find more pathways to equity centred work that we had not considered. Working with Ablaze has been expansive and exciting.

When I work with Nadine & Trudi, I feel like I come across as the most authentic version of myself. I feel heard and seen as myself in my communication. As a woman of colour in an elected position, that is super important to me
I’ve been to one other session on diversity and accessibility and I appreciate the way the presenters maintained an openness without defensiveness or anger. This was much more useful and proactive.

Beautiful, wonderful work! Very needed! I so wish elementary/high schools were doing courses like this. Keep teaching!

My campaign culture will be a reflection of the way I lead in elected office because of this program.
