"We had the honor and pleasure of featuring Darieth Chisolm at our BMO Alliance for Women International Women’s Day Event. Darieth’s impressive background as an Emmy-winning TV host, NBC news anchor, documentary director and producer, author, activist, and internationally recognized public speaker was a great draw.

Darieth was absolutely fantastic to work with throughout all the preparation for the event and we were all energized and inspired by her presentation. Darieth highlighted the gender inequity issues in the media and workplace that still exist today and courageously shared her own personal story and how she used her voice to fight for real change. Darieth challenged us to bring about change in a world where women and allies can live free of ridicule and judgement by committing to tangible action and change. Darieth’s expertise in tv and media was apparent in her ability to communicate and connect with the audience and I would highly recommend her for any empowerment event you have!"

Lincoln Park Performing Arts Charter School

"Darieth was a great addition to an annual program at our school with a focus on professional development.  Darieth's depiction of her struggles were a somber reminder of how social media can be abused and how many innocent people fall victim to cyber-sex crimes.  More inspiring, though, was her story of not just overcoming such adversity but becoming a key advocate in the fight against these crimes.  Our attendees left with an increased knowledge of criminal cyber activity that plagues today's society and with a sense of confidence in recognizing, reporting, and taking action against it."

"Darieth Chisolm is a dynamic and passionate speaker. By bringing her own experiences and charismatic personality into presentations, she is able to successfully engage new and budding entrepreneurs of all ages. Participants showed enthusiasm to overcome barriers in their lives and jump-start creative, profitable businesses. It was especially rewarding to observe local students become more confident and inspired to launch their own successful enterprises. Darieth's popular, interactive workshop and her energizing personality have created a loyal Cleveland following."

"Bringing years of broadcast journalism experience with her, Darieth knows how to deliver a powerful message that gets her audience to sit up and pay attention. Serving as Community College of Beaver County’s 2015 Commencement speaker, she led our graduates on a journey that was both poignant, motivating, and challenging. It was just what they needed to hear."

Rod Doss

New Pittsburgh Courier

"Darieth Chisolm recently served as the keynote speaker of our Women of Excellence event, which honors area women who are making positive impacts in their professions and communities. Ms. Chisolm’s delivery was effective, and left the honorees, as well as guests, feeling inspired and motivated to achieve their professional hopes and “dreams.” She provided informational tips to help them move to the next level. She was exceptional and we will invite her back again."

Danielle Parson

"Darieth was the perfect addition to our inaugural women's empowerment luncheon. She found a way to connect with every woman in the room. We all left excited for the future and motivated for change. She uses her life experiences, not to brag or boast, but to help build others. We couldn't have asked for a better message."

"Many, many thanks for taking time out of your busy schedule to speak to students, faculty, staff and administrators at CCAC's North Campus! We greatly appreciate the information you shared with us and realize that it must be very difficult to recount the abuse you have endured and continue to endure.

Your message is an extremely important one, and we can think of no better recipients than our young people, who are tech-savvy but perhaps naive to the possible dangers. By sharing your experience, you may have prevented one more person from being victimized.

In addition, the positive messages of courage, confidence, self-esteem and self-determination cannot be understated, especially for this population who are at an important crossroads in their lives.

You are an excellent and captivating speaker, evidenced by the immediately rapt audience and the numerous questions that ensued. We have heard nothing but praise and accolades from those who attended.

We wish you all the best as you work on your documentary and continue your public speaking. We will follow your progress with interest. Thank you again!"

"Darieth brings a practical and refreshing message to life woven through with personal and real stories. Her questions continue to resonate with me and came at a pivotal point in my journey; awakening a boldness and confidence I thought was lost. God has uniquely gifted Darieth and I am grateful for the divine connection."

Linda Jo Thornberg

President

Pittsburgh Business Show

"Where do I start? If you are looking for a speaker that is able to connect, inspire, motivate and educate your audience, I would HIGHLY recommend Darieth Chisolm. As the President and organizer of the Pittsburgh Business Show, not only did she take the time to learn about our show and our vision, she was instrumental in delivering a message that was invaluable to business owners, entrepreneurs and professionals alike. We are looking forward to having her at our Annual show for years to come."

Chair, MetroWest Commission on the Status of Women

"When I first heard Darieth speak, I was immediately struck by her bravery for coming forward to talk about her story and experience. I was even more impressed when she created 50 shades of silence, a call to action to mobilize others who had been victim of revenge porn. Yes she is an inspiring speaker but she is so much more. She is hope to so many who are suffering in silence. She is leading the way to give justice to those who have been wronged. She is a true change-maker. It was an honor to have her come to Massachusetts to have a difficult conversation with parents, students, legislators, superintendents, and community leaders about revenge porn and teen sexting. The MetroWest Commission on the Status of Women looks forward to working with Darieth in advocacy to pass legislation to help teens and victims."
