Makeba is a dynamic, forward-thinking, visionary that I had the privilege to work with on several projects. Her collaborative approach to peer-to-peer engagement spearheaded a number of co-sponsored events focused on diversity and inclusion across our organization. Makeba is the consummate professional and catalyst in bringing together key stakeholders to develop and implement projects to completion. She is an incredibly talented, energetic, engaging, and strategic leader.

Her demonstrated leadership, focus and vision is an asset to any organization.

Eddie Burke, Director of Public Affairs, National Museum of African Art

Bradley Gottfried, President, College of Southern Maryland

Makeba Clay facilitated a dialogue for our member community on issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion. Throughout the planning process, Makeba was exceptionally responsive and worked with us to tailor the moderated session to meet our needs. Makeba created this high quality program under a very short timeline. During the moderated session, Makeba's ability to establish a safe space, encourage the participants to reflect, and draw out participants' voices in the conversation helped our organization meet our goals for the dialogue.

Bishop Garrison, Interim Executive Director, Truman National Security Project

Makeba Clay is an excellent speaker and networker, a cosmopolitan global ambassador who is comfortable in any setting, and a spiritually grounded, gracious, mature leader who thrives when she helps and mentors others. Makeba is very smart, knowledgeable about best practices in diversity and inclusion, and is eager to collaborate with all stakeholders. Makeba brought purposeful energy, the capacity to develop a strategic plan, excellent project management and organizational skills, and personal warmth and empathy for those with whom she has worked. She has a wonderful and hopeful vision about how things in the world can be!

Janet Dickerson, Vice President, Princeton University (Retired)

I have had the pleasure with working with Makeba Clay on diversity and inclusion initiatives in the museum field. Her insight and collaborative spirit has been the spark needed to lead the Museum Day Live effort in collaboration with the White House Council on Women and Girls! I also worked with her on the National Program Committee for the American Alliance of Museums conference and the Minneapolis Institute of Art's Museums as Social Action initiative where she demonstrated her varied experience in diversity and inclusion.
