"Thank you, Marti MacGibbon, for taking the time to provide the inspiration, insights and guidance on yesterday’s virtual presentation on human trafficking and addiction. I was overwhelmed with your words and appreciate the information and advice you shared. Again, thank you for sharing – your words were heartfelt. Please accept my deepest thanks for speaking to my group."

"Marti MacGibbon spoke virtually at University of California San Diego’s 2021 Human Trafficking Awareness Event. She’s a phenomenal speaker, charming the audience with her wit and candor. Marti uses her comedic skills and warm spirit to deliver information about the tragedy of human trafficking and triumph of survivorship in a palatable and hope-inspiring way. I highly recommend Marti for a speaking engagement."

"It was such a pleasure meeting you last week when you spoke at the 20th Annual Alabama APSE Conference that was sponsored by the Alabama Council on Developmental Disabilities. You did a fantastic job as our opening keynote speaker and also in your breakout session. Those in attendance found your presentation to be inspiring, motivating, educational, informative and sometimes even humorous. You are exactly what we look for when we book a keynote for our annual conference. We like the audience to leave feeling better than when they arrived. I think the laughter, the tears, and the standing ovation were all indicative of how much everyone loved you and the information you shared…on behalf of Alabama APSE, I’d like to offer you a resounding endorsement for any group looking for a speaker that will not only inspire and motivate their audience, but will also make their planning easier and make them look very good. That’s what you did for me and Alabama APSE."

"On April 5, 2018, Marti delivered an immensely impactful account of her experience of overcoming extreme difficulties such as commercial sexual exploitation, post-traumatic stress disorder, domestic violence and addiction. She engaged our diverse audience of survivors, social workers, lawyers, members of law enforcement, and other concerned professionals by utilizing her sharp sense of humor and wit. Her ability to reach such a vast array of listeners was evidenced by the constant laughs that emanated from the room. Marti used her dynamic presence to teach the audience about the intersection that exists between commercial sexual exploitation, trauma, and addiction using her own life story as illustration. Her storytelling ability made the plenary equal parts entertaining and informative, a feat that can be extremely difficult to balance in this space."
