Rinku's radical authenticity and ability to set the tone and facilitate conversation for a live audience was exactly what we were hoping for at our event. Rinku ... was able to marry the important and timely subject matter with a sense of levity and humor.
... this book will touch your heart. It is a poignant story that points the way forward for us all.
Rinku was wonderful--accessible and articulate, providing us with lots of food for thought. She delivered an excellent speech offering a good deal of insight during Q&A. It was a joy and an honor to have her on our campus--so inspiring for many of us.
Rinku had so much wisdom and thought-provoking perspectives to share, and I think so many people really connected with what she had to share.
