HERE’S WHAT FOLKS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT GCW BRAND COACHING!

DECEMBER 12, 2020

“Yesterday, our center was so fortunate to host one of the most dynamic young leaders on the scene, today: Gabby Cudjoe Wilkes. I had heard, for years, about her brilliant strategic mind, her dynamism and her vast, vast web of professional experiences, spanning from the music industry to higher education and religious leadership. So months ago, when my institution exposed some of the ways that it is still enmeshed, as most institutions are, in harmful practices that are very much radicalized and gendered, I knew that she was one of the first people I needed to call.

Organizing, activating, putting pressure on institutions to live up to the things they claim to believe and staying well in the process are tools and skills that need to be learned. There’s a craft to it. And I’m beyond grateful for how Pastor Gabby came to us, virtually, and began to equip some of our students with some of those tools. I’m especially resonating with how she helped us begin to

  1. Identify winnable goals

  2. Identify institutional pressure points

  3. Be aware of how to avoid ‘activism burnout.’

Thankful for comrades like Gabby. Y’all need to be checking for her. Also thankful that just about every racial/ethnic group represented in our student population was represented in the workshop.” - Taurean Webb, Director of the Center for the Church and The Black Experience at Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary | Religion & Public Life Fellow in the Religion, Conflict & Peace Initiative at Harvard University.

“The 3Bs Branding webinar was great! I got a lot of food for thought as to how I should go about developing brand, or I should say retooling my process for developing my brand. Gabby's insight helped me reorder the steps I had begun to take in a way that makes sense. I have a lot to think about and I'm super grateful!” - Minister Kate Ofikuru, Fordham University PhD student & teacher.
