RECENT PRAISE
Amy and Navy Club - Against All Odds. 20 December 2023.
Thank you so much for joining us last night. It was a wonderful evening and we already received many compliments on your presentation. We sold out of books and even the staff mentioned your great presentation. Dinner discussion was perfect.
St. Albans School DC – The Liberator. 14 December 2023.
The visit was fantastic. When the class met this morning, I asked the students about Alex's talk and the feedback was unanimously positive. In fact, I later got this email from one of the girls: "I thought that Alex Kershaw’s talk was so moving. I was debriefing with my dad and it truly brought tears to my eyes talking about what we saw. I think it was a mix of the images and the stories and the way he presented it. It was an incredible experience."
St. John's Island private club – The Liberator. 8 December 2023.
Wanted to thank you for organizing Alex's visit with us; he was a "hit"! People's comments ranged from tearful, to impressed, loved his passion, his expertise and the fact that he was reaching out doing all this work at high schools. The majority of the questions we rec'd were about his work at schools. At least 30 people have reached out to me directly in the past few days to thank me for bringing Alex to John's Island plus all the people that night that commented on how terrific he was. You could have heard a pin drop during his presentation, and to underscore his impact, we went over time to 6:10, which we NEVER do, h/e couldn't pull away from the conversation and NO ONE left before we concluded....a testament to Alex. Thank you, thank you...our Members loved him and his expertise, it was a successful evening for The Five O'clock Hour (and me-whew), thanks to Alex
Spring Island private club – Against All Odds. 2 December 2023.
