“Working with SEMA has been an incredibly valuable experience for our team. Sofia took the time to really understand our work, creating space for thoughtful and honest reflection. She supported us to critically explore our practices and identify where we could strengthen our approach to being proactively inclusive of racialised Autistic people. The training session delivered for SWAN staff and volunteers was insightful, engaging, and constructively challenging. Since working together, we have taken steps to assess diversity and representation across what we do, considering our choice of webinar speakers, the examples and imagery we use, and reviewing materials such as our group guidelines to ensure they explicitly address issues like racism.”

“Sofia has been a fantastic partner in helping The Anchor reach out and connect with ICM. Having Sofia present at meetings has enabled The Anchor to build rapport and relationships. Her knowledge is incredible and her personality has been instrumental in helping The Anchor understand cultural differences so that we can be as respectful as possible when cultivating these new relationships.”

“Working with Sofia and SEMA has been hugely beneficial, particularly in the early stages of developing our project. Sofia provides great insight in an open, non-judgemental way. She understands the level of stigma facing the people we support and is committed to working in partnership to help us better support people of different cultures, ethnicities, and faiths. We are hugely grateful for Sofia’s support and willingness to help us make introductions with Mosque leaders.”
