About Sandy

Sandy Hudson is a gifted and talented organizer, communicator and strategist. I have had the opportunity to work closely with her and experience her enormous intellectual skills, thoughtfulness and breathe-taking thinking.

When Sandy Hudson speaks, people listen – she is genuine and powerful in relaying to others her extensive experience organizing and mobilizing.  Hearing and learning from her is a great way to support and prepare folks to fight for justice in their communities.

I am in awe of Sandy Hudson who embodies an integrous leadership we can all learn from. Her ability to facilitate at the intersections of our complex humanities, brings all in the room, to place of trust and humility. From this place, her real work of social change begins. Listening to her speak is a constant reminder that the legacy of our freedom-ancestors such as Audre Lorde, Malcolm X and Nanny of the Maroons is very much alive and thriving!

Excellent speaker, workshop facilitator and critical thinker. Sandra is a doer, action oriented in her approach and has a way of bringing people back on the issues. A theory practice fit advocate with a futuristic agenda.

Sandy is a skilled and engaging facilitator with a natural ability to break down big ideas and plans into manageable bite-size pieces. This is empowering and helps new and experienced organizers execute their vision with increased confidence and ability.

I once watched Sandy deliver a talk about her work with Black Lives Matter Toronto to about 200 students. An hour after she was gone, many students where still clustered in the halls, continuing the conversations she started, challenging each other, thinking out loud. Sandy's combination of analysis, engagement, and courage elevates every conversation she engages in.

Sandy Hudson is by far one of the most powerful speakers I have ever come across. She is able to unpack complex themes and ideas, is adaptive in her approach, and creates a narrative that leaves her audience spellbound. Drawing from both expertise and experience, she connects diaspora, feminism, racial justice and transformation in ways that connects across social locations.

Regarded as one of Canada's emergent thought leaders and public intellectuals, Sandy has a keen ability to sift through complex ideas and present them to audiences in ways that are digestible and accessible. Sandy's delivery method is dynamic, impactful, and relevant. Her vast experience organizing at the grassroots level, and steering movements like Black Lives Matter - Toronto, and her work as an academic come together to produce power lectures, presentations, and workshops.

Sandra is a natural leader and teacher, a passionate and articulate voice on some of the most important issues we face. She is a superb communicator, with a great gift for finding the common ground we need to make a better society. Hers is a voice for today, and for the future.

Sandy Hudson is a very powerful speaker.  A thoughtful, fair, patient and hardworking person, who will motivate others to do their best work.

Sandy is an inspiring educator whom I've witnessed for years brilliantly move audiences to deepen their understanding of social justice and fuel their passion into taking action. She inspires courage in everyone that she meets. She's a strong, passionate and dynamic speaker who has consistently found ways to encourage and support diverse audiences to believe they can achieve the change they wish to see in the world.

Sandy is an impressive and brilliant advocate who applies strategic intersectional feminist lens in her speaking and actions. She applies the type of inclusive practices that dissects and cuts across power dynamics and privilege that reassures, yet holds us all accountable for how we move and interact in the world.

At a time when Canada struggles to come face to face with its ugliness of inequality and injustice, Sister Hudson holds up the mirror of social consciousness. Her leadership provides a clear voice of truth and her ability to transform anger into action and activists into organizers sets a path towards victory in this era of “the new civil rights”.
