A note from Nadia:

When I first met Andre, it was online. He was managing a camp for the One Love Foundation and I was the director of training at Partners for Youth. From those first moments, from so far away I both heard from others and witnessed almost immediately the vast capacity of this person to both, seemingly effortlessly, hold the details of a major undertaking AND plumb it to its ultimate depths. Andre asks hard questions, thinks extremely deeply and is ruthlessly committed to his vision of change in places where people may have given up hope, but somehow he never manages to miss being fun, silly, creative, compassionate and kind.

Without fail, every encounter we have had both online and in person, personal and professional he has changed me to rethink my assumptions, establish my inner alignment and recommit to the deepest calling that I can hear. He tells his fascinating stories the long way, and I always find myself pulling layers off our conversations for months to come.
