“Dr. Smith’s ability to translate mixed methods research into implementable technical assistance for small business owners is invaluable. During the height of the pandemic, Ariel facilitated resiliency TA to Black food truck owners in Birmingham in conjunction with a business development program I managed at the time. I highly recommend her expertise!”

“Her honesty and the specific examples in her speaking style were refreshing. I have a notebook filled with “Ariel-isms”. It’s hard to capture the degree to which her words inspired the audience and left a lasting impact.”
