TESTIMONIALS



Sara Minkara earns 5 stars plus for her excellent speaking abilities. She is a rare personality who owns a room—has “presence”—when she enters it. Her graceful style, engaging body language, melodious voice and smooth intonation, all are qualities that combine to make her a gifted and talented speaker.

In sum, Sara is amazing!

-Jane C. Edmonds, Vice President

Programming and Community Outreach, Babson College



Sara reminded us that instead of having a deficit way of thinking, we must have, and promote, a value-add thinking. It is so important to uncover the value and strengths that everyone can bring because everyone has a value! We understand that including people with disabilities is essential because they have something important to contribute; when they do not get to, we lose out on a very important voice and value.
