— Diane Sinti, Director Human Capital Consulting, Deloitte

"Minorities don't always have the chance to shine. At the Women of Color Conference, rather than being talked ‘at,’ we were allowed to have a voice. Forté also provided the financial support that made it possible for me to attend."

— Amy Maldonado, University of Chicago, Class of 2022
