"Getting to know each other on the human level can make a world of a difference!" -Madiha B. Zaidi, Houston, TX

"This was an extraordinary learning experience." -Paula Langellier, Montgomery, TX

"Thank you for organizing an event where people can focus and agree on how to disagree in a respectful and civil manner. When I came my focus was how different we all are. When I left, I realized how many similar fears and concerns we share." -Nazish Dawoodally, Sugarland, Texas

"I confess that I’m the sort of person that gravitates towards my own tribe. I consciously seek out interactions with people that I perceive to be like me and I imagine that most people are like this. Going where they fit in.

The safaris have broken down those barriers. They have allowed me to rub my mind with the minds of women from very diverse backgrounds. I’ve come away knowing that I can have a deep sisterly bond with a lady from a completely different cultural, religious or racial makeup.

Please see Mark 12:30 – 31. Conversation Safaris have helped me to actually SEE my neighbor as myself, thereby making it much easier to love my neighbor as myself. Thereby helping me to fulfill one of the greater commandments.

Thank you for creating this amazing platform. It gives us an opportunity to share in a way that we would not ordinarily be able to." -Chipo Hart, A Frequent Conversation Safari Participant from Zimbabwe

"I have been fortunate to attend Conversation Safari’s, where Chery has unreservedly welcomed all forms of opinions. She has brought people of different mindsets and encouraged them to admit their deepest fears and apprehensions.

At the end, they have all left feeling inspired, energized and loved. Her patience, her empathy, her desire for truth and her noble intention to help people become compassionate human beings, are important elements which are direly needed in today’s world that portrays the darkness of fear and intolerance. With her comes the sunshine of peace and tolerance in much abundance." -Tanya Badami, A Frequent Participant from Pakistan/Australia

"This is exercise for my brain." -Donia Karouia, A frequent participant from TunisiaI

"I no longer feel alone." -GN, Conversation Safari Participant from Egypt

"I’ve had the privilege of participating in Chery’s programs. I am awestruck by the unique ability she possesses to successfully facilitate in-depth discussions within groups of strangers from culturally and historically opposing viewpoints. Chery is a great facilitator, communicator, listener, instructor, counselor and mentor with a passion for truth and real problem solving!" -Jaynia Samaroo, A Frequent Conversation Safari Participant from Jamaica

"I enjoy Conversation Safaris because they give me a sense of comfort and a great amount of understanding. When I express my opinion I do not fee judgment. Conversation Sari’s help me look at the world from another direction." -May ElSaied, A Frequent Conversation Safari Participant from Sudan

"I feel much lighter." -Melanie Bihr-Behat, A frequent Conversation Safari Participant from Germany

"Always so heartwarming….the way you speak and explain things, I always go away with a good,warm, fulfilling feeling." -FB, A Frequent Conversation Safari Participant from South Africa
