  • “Ada Developers Academy hired Yejin Lee to provide a unique training to our corporate partners about racial harm caused by managers in the workplace. Yejin has deep knowledge and has sourced real examples about how BIPOC employees are marginalized within racist institutions. Yejin has perfected the ability of centering and honoring the experience of BIPOC employees while urging folks in positions of power to immediately dismantle systems and practices that are harming their BIPOC employees. Yejin was extremely communicative and generous of her time, knowledge and resource before during and even after her training. She is considered a valued resource to our entire organization.”

    — Jenna Hanchard, Director of Corporate Learning & Culture at Ada Developers Academy | Education Client

  • “Yejin is the most empowering, engaging, and caring facilitator I've ever interacted with. Yejin approaches information with an empathetic and person first approach that creates strong communities among audience members. To witness her facilitate is to be loved, motivated, inspired, and ready for action all at the same time. Bring an open mind, a way to take notes, and time to process afterwards because you'll need it.
