Testimonials

Dr. Makaziwe Mandela

Khalil is a great consultant and partner to work with. He has supported House of Mandela initiatives with tremendous insight and integrity. Further, his tireless work in schools and prisons throughout South Africa has been an inspiration to me and a wonderful service to my country.

Achilles Tsaltas

Khalil Osiris is one of the most inspirational speakers we’ve had over the years and brought such deep insights and emotions to our audiences, so much so that his talks have become reference points in the decade of Athens Democracy Forum. It was so rewarding and touching to look into the audience and see tears in their eyes while Khalil was speaking. A speaker full of power, gusto and emotion!
