What Our Clients Say

“I whole-heartedly endorse the artistic and facilitator talents of Amikaeyla Gaston. Ami was part of a delegation who visited Iraqi refugees in Jordan, Lebanon and Syria to hear the stories and experiences of refugees and come back to the United States to amplify their voices through presentations as well as the arts. While there, Ami led multiple seminars and artistic, interactive workshops and was a major asset on the trip. She brings high quality and versatile artistic abilities to everything she does. Without any reservations I wholeheartedly recommend her for your project.”

– Megan Hoelle
Director of Communication and Program Development
Intersections International

“Amikaeyla is an extremely engaging speaker and facilitator and packs a powerful punch. She performs and speaks to hundreds of people every year and those in attendance benefit from connecting and collaborating with her energy and message. Her vibrant and grounding presence enhances any event she participates in. She knows excellence, is a first class professional and a wonderful person.”

– C. Eduardo Vargas
Deputy Director | Center for Faith-Based & Community Initiatives
U.S. Agency for International Development | A/AID/CFBCI | USAID

“Amikaeyla performed, spoke, facilitated workshops and moderated a panel at our 2012 Winter Forum and conference entitled “Refugees, Rights, and Resettlement” which looked ethically at refugee law and policy and how it affects Burmese, Iraqi, & Sudanese refugees, resettled and still in-country. Her captivating performance along with her spirited facilitation with keynote Speaker Vincent Cochetel (UNHCR’s Regional Representative for the United States & the Caribbean) allowed for this powerful and difficult conversation to flow with ease while addressing the construction and articulation of refugee narratives and the ethical question of representation such narratives raise.”

– The Kenan Institute for Ethics – Duke University

“One of the great ongoing benefits of Amikaeyla is that she doesn’t hesitate to go to the place that moves you. As the Lead Community Health Outreach Coordinator and Cultural Competency Trainer for the National S.H.E. (Spirit Health Education) Circle program and the Removing the Barriers training program designed to educate and bring awareness to health care providers about LGBT health care needs, this vibrant woman led hundreds of presentations and trainings to professionals and women in the community. . Her “team approach” and healthy ability to create a respectful place for all individuals allowed for a deeper understanding of difficult concepts making her a very dynamic team leader. I highly recommend her.”

– Amari Sokoya Pearson-Fields
Chief, Cancer Programs Division
DC Department of Health

“Amikaeyla captured the attention of over 200 students and teachers during two interactive presentations. There was lots of energy, loads of fun, and a good time was had by all including the teachers!”
