“Absolutely amazing. Most inspiring and moving speaker I have ever seen.”

“In 2018, we invited Anisa to close the Welcoming Australia Symposium, and until recently, I rated it the best closing address we’ve ever had at our event. I say ‘recently’ because in 2024, we invited Anisa back, and this was even better!! Humour, poetry and fire—a standing ovation from the entire audience!”
