Audience Responses
Kimberly Dark is an engaging, thought provoking, inspiring speaker. After watching [Complicated Courtesies], if you have been paying attention, you cannot leave the theater the same person as when you walked in.
– Michele Newman, Women’s Center Director, University of Hawai‘i at Hilo
This piece weaves together politeness in all its gendered majesty, how to live with fullness and integrity, facing our own many ‘faces,’ and healing ourselves and others with the power of dignity.
– Dr. Carol Plummer, Professor of Social Work, University of Hawai‘i at Manoa
