Client Stories

  • If you have not had the pleasure of hearing Christina Tillery present, you are missing out. Ms. Tillery speaks from knowledge, experience, and genuine passion. Her presentations are always thoughtful, relatable and well thought out. Even though you can tell she has spent dedicated time preparing for these presentations, they come out effortlessly and quite the opposite of monotone. I love her passion and dedication to making this world a better place.

  • I had the pleasure of attending Ms. Christina Tillery’s presentation on Sister Circles as Affinity Groups at the Virginia School Counselor Association Annual Conference. Ms. Tillery is an excellent presenter portraying some of the experiences of black girls in public school and why a group like this benefits students. Ms. Tillery is an inspirational speaker providing detailed and practical content that School Counselor attendees can put in place immediately on return to their home schools. I would attend any presentation of Ms. Tillery’s in the future.

  • I’ve had the opportunity of attending two professional development sessions presented by Christina Tillery. Each presentation was carefully planned and executed. Christina does a great job of bringing attention to topics that are often overlooked in the African American community. Her presentations are a reflection of how much she cares for the community she serves.
