Client Testimonials

Skilled communicator and leads with intentionality...

 "While studying at Howard  University, Dr. Acquaye-Doyle coordinated our 2012 service learning trip to  Capetown, South Africa. We were there for 10 days and visit several  social service agencies as well as sight seeing. Dr. Acquaye-Doyle planned our time with thoughtfulness and emphasized the need to embrace cultural  humility as we travel and learn. The tours that she planned of the  social service sector have greatly impacted my work, specifically, my  research that looks at the needs of families who are living in  persistent poverty. Dr Acquaye-Doyle is a skilled communicator and leads with  intentionality. I’m looking forward to traveling with her again."

Contributed to my capacity to be more aware and patient of the humanistic aspects of others...

"Traveling globally with Lucinda is hands-down one of the most enriching  experiences I’ve had both personally and professionally. I had the  distinct pleasure of being trained by Lucinda to coordinate a global  program. During travel, Lucinda goes the extra mile  to check in on your soul. For example, as a Black/African American  woman, it was extremely significant for me to “voyage back to Africa”  and to touch the symbolic land of ancestors that I’ll never know. During  our travels, Lucinda was always available to share a wide and reaffirming perspective rooted in her complexities as a Ghanaian and Black American woman. Her sensitivity to the broad range of  Black culture enriches travel in a way that optimizes well-being.  Learning from her contributed to my capacity to be more aware and patient of the humanistic aspects of others. She has helped me understand what it means to truly acknowledge a person for who  they show up as when they enter into shared space with you. As an  assistant professor, I’ve carried the influence of this  experiential learning into my research and the classroom and it has also enhanced my professional service and civic engagement. I consider myself a global citizen and know my mission in transforming communities has been made better through the international travel experiences that I’ve had with Lucinda."

Connected with people with whom we would have never encountered on our own...

 "This was one of the first organized tours that I have the opportunity  to go on and was without exaggeration, one of my favorite trips. We  encountered experiences outside of the typical tourist areas and  connected with people with whom we would have never  encountered on our own. I loved the cultural extras beyond the educational tour and our service project. I felt as though I had an insider's experience of the country, yet was still able to visit the  various tourist attractions; the perfect balance. I left with  greater insight into the culture and people and the surrounding area."
