Senior Researcher OMNI Institute
Dr. Carolyn Love is an experienced and skillful facilitator, and it was a true pleasure and honor to work with her. Our company collaborated with Dr. Love on a community dialogue session due to her years of experience, knowledge of local communities, and strong professionalism. Observing her facilitation in action was truly impressive, as Dr. Love was easily able to manage a large group, navigate the extensive agenda in a timely manner, foster rapport and mutual respect with participants, and create a safe and comfortable setting for information sharing. We would happily collaborate with Dr. Love again in the future!

Alexandra Alonso
Program Manager Colorado Leadership, Advocacy & Research Organization (CLLARO)
Dr. Carolyn Love has been an incredible partner to CLLARO for 2 years (Capitol Fellows Trainings). Dr. Love offers invaluable insights into race relations, biases, prejudices, structural and institutional racism and the local impacts of that discrimination. Dr. Love offered her expertise on the Civil Rights Movement for our CLLARO Capitol Fellowship Program and shared her perspectives during our Health Equity Learning Series community discussions on racism and health inequities. We are grateful to Dr. Love for her dedication and support of CLLARO programs and we look forward to continued partnership for years to come.
Dara Burwell, President
Transformative Alliances LLC
Recently, I was fortunate enough to see Dr. Carolyn Love participate on a panel where she discussed structural racism and African American communities. As always, Dr. Love presented a broad base of knowledge, both historical and current. Her specificity, humor, ease, and adaptability to the audience were also evident, creating opportunities for understanding, and even laughter, in relationship to a painful subject. I respect and appreciate Dr. Love’s expertise, interrogatory nature, and ongoing dedication to the work of supporting inclusiveness by addressing race and racism.
Nikki Riedt, Operations and Finance Director
Conservation Colorado
Dr. Love worked closely with our staff to develop a training that would closely fit the specific needs of our organization. While the training was designed to “meet our staff where they were at,” Carolyn was able to challenge our assumptions and push our boundaries to help our staff reach a better understanding of the issues involved in equity, diversity and inclusivity. We thoroughly enjoyed working with Carolyn and the directness, compassion, and thoughtfulness she brought to the project and look forward to opportunities to work together again.
