"When Harrison Mooney writes, he weaves an honest narrative of the human experience, sharing vivid and captivating stories that encourage us to go inward, to grow. But it's not just his words that shine; it's his ability to build a warm and welcoming community in the real world. In a society where uncomfortable stories can often divide, Harrison lovingly invites us all into the room and it is here where magic happens."

  • Harrison has such a casual yet eloquent way of describing his experiences with racism, even when the content (or the audience) made it difficult to be. It was so helpful to hear about his experiences. Thank you for being so vulnerable with us!

  • Harrison has a dazzling and dynamic stage presence. He is a phenomenal host whose warmth and sense of humour ease tension in the room, even when delving into complex themes and topics. His compassionate and confident demeanour was so helpful for me as a nervous debut author. His energy and great speaking voice are matched by thoughtful, searching questions, and a persona that is just as friendly behind the scenes.

  • Harrison's storytelling ability is incredible. The way that he put together his presentation was engaging and, at times, both heart-rending and hilarious. He was able to powerfully convey, to a roomful of white educators, the need for anti-racism and racial equity work in our school and wider community, emphasizing belonging and what that means for our students.

  • What Harrison does so beautifully is emotionally connect with audiences. I have had the great pleasure of witnessing how people are drawn to him, through his words and also his warmth, and it’s a special phenomenon. There is truly no one I would rather share a stage with.

  • I urge everyone to seek out an opportunity to hear Harrison speak. His generosity during the question-and-answer session made our time together especially memorable. The impression Harrison made on our group cannot be understated. The style in which he spoke about racism and self-acceptance through the lens of his personal journey was moving, engaging and deeply meaningful.
