"Janet recently spoke at our International Women's Day event in Google.  Let me just say, Janet was amazing! Her talk on equity vs. equality was not only informative but also engaging and thought-provoking. She kept the audience captivated from start to finish, and her passion for the topic was truly contagious.  What I appreciated most about Janet's presentation was her ability to break down complex concepts into easy-to-understand ideas. She made the topic of equity and equality accessible to everyone and encouraged open and honest discussion among the audience."
