Jake & Hannah Graf is regularly booked to engage audiences at events, read their latest feedback below:
“Not only are Jake and Hannah charismatic, passionate, and informed speakers, but Jake’s films generated a lot of important discussion and questions from our audience. Their honesty around transition and candid answers to questions was endearing, and we have had only positive feedback from our event. Jake and Hannah were a pleasure to work with – happy to adapt to whatever style of speech we wanted them to deliver, and their charity work brought a lot of new faces to our company”
“We recently booked Jake and Hannah to speak as our keynote address at a large-scale InterComms LGBT+ Network event and we can safely say they were an incredible opener to our panel discussion ‘Why just the G in LGBT? Let’s start with the LBT’. Their story was personal, inspiring, touching and delivered with aplomb to an extremely engaged audience. They also got involved with the panel debate afterwards, delivering well-thought out and balanced answers to our attendees questions. Jake and Hannah are consummate professionals, and incredible ambassadors for the Trans and LGBT+ communities.”
“I just wanted to thank you again so much for your work organising the event with the Army last night. It is up there as my favourite D&I event yet. Super informative and left us all with proper practical tips for addressing this complex area. Very timely with the announcements yesterday re the new head of the Army and UK Armed Services (both of whom, from what I hear, have been major drivers behind the Army’s significant advance in the area of D&I).”
“Please pass on, on behalf of all of us at SAP, our gratitude to Jake and Hannah. They were outstanding and authentic, honest and engaging. They gave our event a very natural and relaxed feel and this allowed our audience to ask questions they may not have asked before. Jake and Hannah were a pleasure to work with and we wanted to pass on all of the messages that were coming through for them:
One of my daughter’s best friends and roommate is a great guy. He was forced to girls dorm and he was never fully happy. He completed his transition recently and a few months ago I saw a picture where he was smiling for the first time ever that I had seen. thank you for sharing your stories. I know not a question, but both of your stories are so important for kids like him. Thank you so much for sharing. I do my best as an ally and I appreciate you both. So happy you found happiness in the end.
Watching with my nine-year-old daughter. Quote: “Cutest picture ever!
Beautiful story! Thank you so much for sharing!
Thank you for sharing your stories! So happy for you both. And your adorable children.
Hannah, Jake…no question, only a comment. If we had more courageous people like yourselves in the world, we’d all be living in a better place.
Thank you Hannah & Jake for sharing your story and congrats on your two beautiful children!
THANK YOU! I so appreciate your visibility”
“Just a note of thanks from myself and Rosie for your help with this. It was a great session and Jake and Hannah were amazing, we could’ve carried on talking for hours”
“The whole business was truly inspired by them. They were so open and honest and we all said we could’ve carried on the conversation for a lot longer. They were both very at ease and were open to questions, which is always a good thing. The videos that were shown during the talk were a real insight into the challenges that people face, so it was great that they shared them. Thank you again and I look forward to working with you in the future”
