I'm Aubrey Noronha (NA-ROW-NA), and I work with schools across Canada to help students, educators, and parents stay sensitized in a world going numb.

Real stories from lives transformed by the power of hope
"Aubrey has changed many lives and it sounds like many more lives are still yet to be changed by him for the better."
"In Aubrey's presentation I think I learned more in 45 minutes than in two years. I highly recommend Aubrey! The reason is that he has hit on all our safe schools principles. He has addressed a lot of those topics that we often don't have the capacity to be able to address as school administrators or even as a school team. He broke it down in a way that the students understood, connected with them with 'real talk' and dropped wisdom. For me it was money very well spent!"
"Your presentation was brilliant, timely and relevant pedagogy for the season we are in. I've been teaching for 26 years and I think this is the first time my students have had such a presentation, and presented with such facts and points to ponder. Your humour helped engage the students too."
"All throughout I was not only hanging on to every word but I was physiologically impacted with goose bumps, a racing heart, nausea and a fire in my belly strong to reignite and sustain an actively antiracist journey!"
"This presentation was a beautiful balance of delivering and discussing sensitive topics as well as being able to create a space to talk about and reflect on the difficult topics with elements of humour at the most appropriate of times."
"WOW! what an amazing session, you did bring tears to my eyes, because you spoke to me, you spoke to my soul and my heart. I've heard many sessions about covid fatigue, covid loneliness, etc., but you took it a different way, you made me think, and made me feel with hope and encouragement. Thank you!"
"I've been teaching for 26 years and I think this is the first time my students have had such a presentation, and presented with such facts and points to ponder. Your humour helped engage the students too."
"It was almost unreal to have someone speak about a sensitive topic to most openly, respectfully, and in an understandable way. It was a great experience to be a part of and interact with."
