Testimonial: Shanan Kelley is an absolute gem. We couldn’t have asked for a better emcee for our recent fundraiser for The Peaceful Presence Project. Shanan brought an incredible energy to the event, maintaining a light yet respectful atmosphere that perfectly complemented our focus on compassionate support around illness, death, and grief. Her ability to connect with the audience and seamlessly transition between moments of inspiration, gratitude, and laughter truly elevated the experience for everyone. Not only did she keep the event running smoothly, but her thoughtful words resonated with our mission and left a lasting impression on our guests. We’re incredibly grateful for her contributions to making the evening such a success!
