“I was very touched, impressed and obtained a safety message that Kina delivered from her heart. The message was that no matter what the seniority or how well you know the job people need to pay attention and be aware of the equipment they are working with. I cannot even imagine what Kina went through but took her safety message very personally.”

“Thank you for bringing Kina here and having her share her story. I think she is the most beautiful, outgoing, inspirational person that I have met. I learned a lot from her and after her story I think about all the times I have done something and got that gut feeling but didn’t listen, But I will definitely listen now. Tell her that she is an amazing person and I’m honored to have met her.”

“After speaking during a recent safety event our employees were just blown away by her story and the message that Kina delivered. When she talked about the day of the accident as “just another day” it really hit home to all, that with one careless act, a tragic accident can affect their lives forever. Kina’s message is powerful yet entertaining and she delivers it with professionalism and tact. This truly changed the way our employees look at safety.”

“I really was moved by your presentation, your story will have a lasting effect on the majority of folks at our plant. Your will to survive and zest for life is an inspiration to all to make the most of our lives. Thanks for sharing your story.”

“Thank you again for speaking to us. I thought the pictures added a great touch to your story and your ability to work humor into the speech is fantastic. I was certainly touched by you and I thank you for that.”

“While Kina’s personal background, education, and ability to connect with the audience made her story both innocent and touching, the realization of her tragic accident was also shocking and graphic. She made us understand that it could have been one of us, or worse yet, one of our family members. Her story reminded all of us that safety accidents do not discriminate with regards to age, sex, or race and they rarely give the guilty party a second chance. I would recommend to friends and business associates to have Kina address their employees to speak about safety and share her story..”

“What a wake up call! A moment in time, just a second or two and a life changes for ever. Kina’s story is powerful, provocative and inspiring. The story delivers the message “Your Safety is up to You” with clarity and emotion. Her story relives this life event each time she ties her shoes or has a young child tug at her empty sleeve. Kina speaks to the affect an injury has on the employee; but, the far reaching consequences “ripple affect” to others. Her presentation is well worth your investment.”

“Wow…I experienced horror, terror, pain, fear, compassion, respect…She [Kina] is very brave to re-live that event for our benefit.”
