“Gabe Calderon is an absolute joy to work with. Their approach to group facilitation and committee leadership is patient and passionate, enlightening and inspiring. Our team has learned and grown so much from Gabe due to their ability to share their knowledge and experience without judgment. I look forward to continuing to work with Gabe on projects big and small, as engaging their mind and voice is a privilege and a gift.”

Londzo, Manager of Workplace & Culture - Pride at Work Canada

I feel so privileged to have had the chance to work with Gabe on the Fabulous Histories project. They truly brought so much passion and warmth to their work, rooting these values both into the foundations of the content they created for this project as well as in the collaborative process itself, from my work with them to their engagement with folks who were sharing their stories with us. Gabe centres care at every level of their work, which is incredibly inspiring and so needed everywhere. They created important foundations for our project through their ideas, research, and expertise, and have shaped the direction of this history project in beautiful, impactful ways. Gabe is an absolute joy to work with, and I hope we get a chance to work collaboratively on other projects in the future!

“As a learning facilitator, I’m very picky about being facilitated to or being taught by others, and I have to say Gabe blew me away. Their energy and passion combined with obvious facilitation skills was a powerful combination. I would recommend Gabe to anyone who wants accessible, engaging and authentic learning that makes an impact! It was a pleasure to sit back and enjoy the experience while watching someone clearly gifted at their craft!”

Thank you so much for your time, teachings, prayers and energy during your anti-oppression workshop for our organization. It was extremely valuable to the members of (our organization) and also was very dear to my heart. You are an incredible story teller and your work elevates us all as humans to be our best selves and actively take actions towards a kinder, safer, more equitable world.

“Thanks so much for the informative workshops on Anti-Oppression. Your skill in unpacking the content of the webinars is at a very high level. I am grateful for that.

I have read articles and books and listened to webinars and attended workshops on many of the topics you discussed in the three workshops I attended in the last month. What you present has many intersection points with what I have learned elsewhere. A huge difference is you and how you present the material. I am tired of dogma no matter where it comes from. I don't agree with "The end justifies the means" if the means is out of integrity. Your workshops were dogma-free and contained much wisdom. I could feel the collective wisdom of your communities and elders come through you as you spoke. Thank you for being a passionate connected voice. My heart sings when I hear truth and it is full of song right now.”

“I was in the digital audience of your Learning Series workshops discussing 2SLGBTQ+ Identities and Decolonization.

Thank you so much for your insight and knowledge during these presentations. All of us in viewership were enthralled with everything you've shared, and I deeply appreciate the time you took to reply to my questions and the conversations you offered throughout the evenings.”
