“Ms. Cuero managed to engage ETH members from various groups and different areas (staff, students, and professors) in a Q&A session with over 100 participants. It was very impressive. Her answers and explanations are clear and understandable. She provides concrete tips for addressing diversity and anti-racism, taking into account multiple discrimination and using comprehensible examples. We received very positive feedback from many participants, including that the hour with Estefania Cuero was far too short.”

— Daniela Hansen, Equal Opportunities Officer, ETH Zürich

“I took part in a reflection group where we read the book Me and White Supremacy and had discussions about the book throughout our reading. After the reading, we had a meeting with Estefania to review questions that we had at the beginning of the process. She really helped facilitate a deep discussion around what we had learned, why we have certain feelings and biases and how we can move forward knowing what we know now. She was totally honest and she shared some of her feelings and experiences with us, and also made space for us to share ours.

I would absolutely work with Estefania again. In fact, I think every company/organization/personal group should hire her to moderate or lead workshops on the topic of racism and anti-racism because she is most professional and the topic should be discussed and learned by everyone. Thank you so much Estefania.”

“Estefania Cuero supported us with her expertise and clear, reflective attitude in the comprehensive and holistic development of a diversity strategy. Her critical yet empathetically presented contributions helped us gain an external perspective on our initiative and continuously question and improve our approach. The collaboration was very enriching - both professionally and personally.”

— Pia Ammann, Head of the Office for Equality of Opportunities, University of Lucerne

“Nia provided us with enriching and motivating answers and didn’t hesitate to advise us on individual situations. We wholeheartedly recommend her as an expert to anyone who wants to (make a) change.”

“Estefania Cuero supported Amnesty Switzerland in developing a guide for inclusive language and the accompanying glossary. We benefited from her vast knowledge in the field of 'Diversity,' especially on the topic of racism. Anti-racist language requires a lot of sensitivity, language skills, and background knowledge about the history of discrimination. Estefania Cuero has all of this. Her inputs have taught us a great deal.”

— Alexandra Karle, Managing Director, Amnesty International Switzerland

“Estefania Cuero participated in a roundtable discussion on 'Racism Today,' organized by the Cantonal Freiburg Office of Integration and Racism Prevention as part of their 10th Week Against Racism on March 23, 2021. Her expertise, interconnected thinking, critical sense, and diverse experiences contributed to highly engaging discussions. One aspect I would particularly like to highlight is Ms. Cuero's inspiring analysis of the concept of 'Empowerment.' At this point, a heartfelt thank you to you, Nia! Your thoughts and our collaboration will accompany and strengthen me in my professional life!”

— Giuseppina Greco, Delegate for Integration and Racism Prevention, Canton of Freiburg

“We had a reflection workshop with Nia at the Impact Hub Zurich on racism. The collaboration with Nia was excellent. She advances reflection processes by constantly inviting expansions of perspective while following a coherent line that is equally goal-oriented and open. We were engaged and at the same time took the necessary step out of our comfort zone. We look forward to further collaborations!”

— Anne Stammwitz, D&I Consultant, Diversify GmbH

“For me, Estefania Cuero was the discovery of the panel 'Young Activists: Old Power Questions, New Fight with New Heads' as part of the 13th Aarau Democracy Days on the topic of 'Women and Politics.' Her contributions to the role of international social movements like #metoo, #BlackLivesMatter, and #FridaysforFuture were simply perfect in all respects. As an expert, she addresses challenging topics in an accessible way and has simply an extremely good presence.”

— Renat Künzi, Journalist, SWI swissinfo.ch/SRG

“We had invited Estefania and her colleague Ify Odenigbo to guide us in a critical reflection on intersectionality. After a short but still nuanced introduction to the topic, we had a rich and inspiring exchange among our members under their guidance. We highly appreciate how Estefania enabled the participants to bring in their own experiences while providing clarifications and alternative perspectives whenever necessary. She created an atmosphere that allowed the participants to share but also challenge their personal views. We are very much looking forward to continuing our engagement with the topic of intersectionality under her guidance!”
