CLIENT TESTIMONIAL
Working with Bakari helped me connect with my diverse electorate in concise and effective ways.
Engaging one million diverse residents of my district requires the ability to frame unique and complex concerns while presenting a comprehensive vision for change. In a fast-paced environment, Bakari patiently worked with me to hone political positions into tight relatable narratives - allowing me to maximize the limited amount of time I was able spend with thousands of voters across my vast district. Her breathing and motivational techniques, calmed the body and helped me momentarily quiet the chaos of the campaign. This allowed me to focus on my audience and shape talking points that helped audiences connect with my story and find common ground.
Bakari’s dedication, professionalism and personalized service helped to elevate my story-telling throughout a successful campaign. I wholeheartedly recommend Bakari to anyone needing thought - partnership and technical skills to shape concise narratives that move listeners.
