Testimonials

Nova Browning Rutherford’s ability to be welcoming, open, receptive and engaging enables her to rapidly get through many of the walls young women naturally put up and makes her perfect for this line of work. Her workshop at The Remix Project, helped us as staff recognize the need for a consistent and ongoing space that allows young women to share their stories and supports them through their journeys collectively. Her workshop touched on topics that often times rarely get voice and therefore provided a very important and critical space for these young women to identify their own issues and grow through them.

- Amanda Parris : Managing Director – The Remix Project 

 

“Mentoring Nova for the past year has been exhilarating for me because the experience of helping someone so passionate about mentoring the youth exudes not only in our personal meetings but also in real life. As someone who has devoted my life to mentoring the youth, I find Nova to be exceptional in living a life that is a true EXAMPLE for the youth to follow. I’ve learned as much from her as she from me her during this our mentoring process and I don’t at all see her as my protegee; she was a STAR when I met her!”
