  • Shiza was amazing. Warm and friendly, poised and well spoken. She incorporated our work into her speech and made it really personal. Shiza handled questions from the audience like a pro and spent a great amount of time with us taking photos and chatting with attendees afterward. We would definitely recommend All American and Shiza!
