“Chris Farias delivered a keynote presentation to my camp staff team on the topic of belonging. As a keynote for 200 teens and young adults, they had their work cut out for them early on a Sunday morning. Chris did a fantastic job and had the staff laughing in their seats and crying with the personal and emotional stories they shared with us.”
“Having Chris as the keynote at our association conference brought the importance of why equity, diversity, inclusion and belonging should be at the heart of our work (and lives) in a resounding fashion.
Joy, humor, and stories captivated and connected the audience from the moment they came on stage. Inspiration continued well past the keynote and will resonate in the ongoing work we do, thanks to the approach Chris takes.
Chris brings their joy to all that they do.”
