"I have always relied on Raq's strategic counsel because of how deeply they care for the people we serve... Raq's unequivocal stance is that we must consider what is best for the people we serve, even if that makes a task or policy decision more time consuming or politically charged. Raq's perspective is refreshing and needed in this work."

- Cyrus Garrett, Former Vice President of Strategic Partnerships, The Outreach Team

"... Right away, Raq went above the basic request and offered strategic counsel that shifted the way we approached the project...Throughout the process, Raq asked thoughtful, insightful questions and offered specific, relevant, helpful, and actionable recommendations for improvement.

...I think Raq is one of the best folks I've worked with on such a project. They have an understanding of how to simplify the pedagogy of teaching, and helped us craft an accessible curriculum rooted in equity, prioritized learning outcomes, and was designed to be simple for our volunteers to carry out. Extremely valuable partner and I'd work with Raq again in a minute!"

"Raq offered their consulting expertise at my school providing valuable training for students looking to secure a job. Their sample resumes and critiques guided me towards my first full time job using the skillsets learned in my degree program.
