\u201cDiana and I have served together for several years on the board of the Highlander Research and Education Center in Eastern Tennessee. Diana\u2019s leadership and participation have been crucial to helping us envision a way forward to a promising future. In addition to normal board duties, she has donated her professional skills as we think about our work in a changing world. She brings a commitment to doing her share and more; grace in working across ethnic, economic and power divides; perseverance in pursuing difficult subjects in ways that allow and promote healing; and flashes of humor and a sense of fun and celebration at just the times they are most valuable.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/div>

\u201cI had the opportunity to partner with Diane Marie in a consulting project in San Francisco with a health related agency that was fraught with interpersonal struggles among staff and leadership. Diane Marie\u2019s clear thinking, consistent compassion, and steady hand helped the consultant team devise and implement a process that helped heal an organization so that it could better achieve its mission of healing others.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/div>

\u201cDiana Marie developed a community capacity building plan for our organization. The plan was in depth and contextualized to meet the needs of our communities as well as our organizational culture. Diana Marie is extremely skilled in facilitation and in communicating complicated concepts. She turned non-believers in our organization to champions.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/div>

\u201cIn my tenure as SAFE Program Director of One East Palo Alto, a Hewlett Foundation Neighborhood Improvement Initiative, I had the good luck to hire Diane to facilitate several neighbor trainings that built the very successful Building Block Club program which brought together African American, Latino and Pacific Islander residents to join together with each other and the East Palo Alto Police department. Diane\u2019s facilitation encouraged the resident\u2019s natural voice and helped me as a program director to hear their concerns and problem solving ideas. Sometimes the world is small in good ways that brings friends together. Small world brought Diane into my niece\u2019s life when her special needs daughter needed an advocate to help her find the right school. Diane worked with the Oakland Public School district and brought my niece to a wonderfully supportive school in the Oakland Dimond district. My niece\u2019s mother had planned to introduce us at a school function that I attended for her daughter. Diane and I had a good laugh and hug to find that once again we were making a positive difference together in our human family. That\u2019s my testimony; I hope that you too have a small world that brings you to know Diane Lee too.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/div>

\u201cWe are honored to provide a recommendation for Diana Marie Lee, Sweet Livity. From November 2009 through March 2011, Diana Marie Lee led a co-design process to develop a comprehensive Community Capacity Building framework as a key component of Best Start, First 5 LA\u2019s place-based funding approach in 14 Los Angeles County communities. With her guidance and leadership, the inter-departmental team of 15 of program officers, managers and directors designed the framework including our values and principles in implementing capacity building in partnership with the communities, along with four core capacities (engagement, leadership, infrastructure and investment) that are shaping the work as we move forward. In developing the framework, Ms. Lee led us through a process of internally modeling the processes we would ultimately implement in the 14 communities. Diana Marie Lee\u2019s passion for community-based development, along with her vast on-the-ground experience, was not only inspiring, but provided a necessary, solid foundation for our place-based work. The team, agency and Commission couldn\u2019t get enough of Diana Marie Lee. Her description of the work that we were embarking on helped the organization to affirm its move forward with the place-based approach.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/div>

\u201cI had the great pleasure of working with Diana this year. She facilitated a day-long retreat for us at Youth SEED, a youth leadership organization based in Oakland, Ca. Her warmth and presence are only matched to her professionalism and dedication. She worked with us to co-develop an agenda that would best serve our need while demonstrating vast experience and knowledge. She is a true inspiration to work with, and added great value to our organization. I can, in good faith, highly recommend her to whatever project or endeavor one might be engaged in.

\u201cMs. Lee has always sought out new and holistic approaches to living a mentally, and physically healthy life. I know this from first-hand experience as Ms. Lee has helped me to improve my mental spiritual health through meditation and prayer. She has always been a positive role model for myself and others that she has encountered. One thing that I can say that sets Ms. Lee a part from anyone else I know is that I have never heard her say anything negative. It bothered me so that I finally asked her about it, because although I desired to live like that I found myself always fussing or complaining. Ms., Lee shared with me the process that she underwent to reach this point in life and after practicing many of the same principles I can proudly say that I to can see only the good and I love it!\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/div>

\u201cDiana was a tremendous help in guiding us through the brainstorming + development of introducing inclusion to our workforce. \u00a0She walked us through not only how to articulate a complex theme but also had a clear point of view on the best way to structure the content. \u00a0She made herself available in order to fit our busy schedules + went above + beyond to thoroughly answer questions or concerns we had prior to our off-site. \u00a0\u00a0During the offsite, Diana stood out as an incredible public speaker; she was an engaging + entertaining story-teller that really inspired our group to open up + be vulnerable during our breakouts. \u00a0We received raving feedback on how much everyone enjoyed hearing her speak + how impactful the entire activity was. \u00a0This built our function’s credibility with the organization + initiated a focus organizationally in this area. \u00a0I am so thankful for Diana’s support + assistance through this process + I look forward to the next time we get to work together!\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/div>

\u201cYour (personal) flexibility, creativity, openness and humility aligned well with our organizational values, and ended up being critical to the success of our working relationship. I particularly appreciated your cultural responsiveness, social justice orientation and trauma informed approach.<\/span><\/p>

Our staff felt very comfortable working with you, in part because I think you felt most values and perspective-aligned. You also were aware of and responsive to power and other interpersonal and institutional dynamics that show up in our work and definitely were present in the curriculum development process. Finally, I appreciated what I perceived to be your grounding in wellness, serenity, and dignity. I think it was contagious, and a welcome touchstone in a process that at times was hectic, stressful and emotionally charged.<\/span><\/p>

In short, I really appreciated your work, enjoyed the opportunity to get to know and work with you, and came away a stronger leader as a result of our engagement. And also very importantly, the ultimate product of your work (ie the curriculum) has been a huge step forward for us a program and organization.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/div>

\u201cI have known Diana for over 5 years and admired her work from several capacities. I admired her much needed work at NCDI, learned from her involvement with a national nonprofit group, and have recently been fortunate to have her as my personal\/professional coach through a women of color leadership network. Diana has always been a kind, gentle heart with deep intuition, compassion, and knowing. She is currently my coach in a circle of 5 other women and I appreciate and thank her for the expertise, delicate leadership, and clear foresight she has in how she works with me and the group to ask the right question, play the right song, or touch us in just the right way. My year is already looking brighter because of having Diana in my life. She is a phenomenal woman!\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/div>

\u201cSweet Livity, and specifically Diana, gave me a fresh outlook, a clear heart, and authentic strength to step into my greatness. When I signed on for wellness coaching from Diana, my starting point was simply a desire to be more effective in my work life and community leadership. Little did I know that I would be facing unprecedented challenges in the months that followed. Diana offered useful practices and ways to reframe my circumstances — as well as possibilities. As a result, I summoned courage that I didn’t realize was there, and wisdom that recalled the ancestors, and more than survived. I began to thrive.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/div>

\u201cDiana Marie was the central person behind a community consultant training institute that i enrolled in. the program was highly regarded nationally and i could easily see why. Diana Marie\u2019s professional integrity, deep commitment to social justice, peace and well-being, and versatile skillsets consolidated the training institute into a powerhouse of dynamic, engaged learning that really delivered as well as cultivated & deepened relationships and community of practitioners. She set the tone for the institute as a truly respectful, fun, and safe learning space for all participants and unlocked the power and brilliance of all the wisdom various trainers had to offer in a seamless way. Having seen her gifts in action and having benefited from it directly, I feel very fortunate and now that I am in a leadership position for my own agency, I would love the opportunity to partner with someone like her so our program can thrive and develop the kind of reputation that that institute did.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/div>

\u201cYou have done so and more with your work on creating the Inclusion Challenge Peer Exchange, providing feedback on our inclusive economy metric set, and now creating a diversity, equity and inclusion training for our B Local leaders. \u00a0The Peer Exchange was a critical project within the B Corp Inclusion Challenge because it created a space for B Corps participating in the Challenge to do some of the tremendously important work “below the green line”, which (I’ve learned from you) is as important – if not more – as the structural work in getting diversity, equity and inclusion work to be institutionalized within a company. <\/span><\/p>

Every Peer Exchange group that began completed the program, and we received very positive feedback on the program in improving participants’ personal growth and understanding of diversity and inclusion; supporting participants’ colleagues’ growth and understanding of diversity and inclusion; and better equipping Challenge participants to meet their business’s inclusion challenge goals. The deep nature of the program was attractive to our funders, and was so successful that we intend to invest greater resources in adapting it for a wider audience and aim to increase participation threefold. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>

In addition to positive results, working with you has been one of the most positive working relationships of external consultants I have had to date. You are extremely professional, reliable, and timely in your work. You are generous and gracious – providing discounts and modifying your work to meet our budget.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/div>
