I’ve had the privilege of working alongside Oblio on the Public Safety Coordinating Council, where he has consistently ensured that the voices of those affected by reentry are prioritized. His innovative approaches to platforming these critical issues, along with advocating for other underserved populations, have truly made a difference in our community. Oblio’s dedication and creativity inspire me and many others to strive for a more inclusive dialogue.

I have had the privilege of knowing Oblio for some time, and I can honestly say that their dedication to creating safe, inclusive, and healing spaces for vulnerable populations is nothing short of inspiring. Oblio's ability to listen with empathy, approach every situation with non-judgment, and provide tailored therapeutic support is a rare gift. They go above and beyond to ensure that every individual feels seen, heard, and supported, regardless of their background or circumstances. Oblio’s commitment to fostering an environment where people can truly be themselves has made a profound impact on many lives, including my own.

Oblio is absolutely amazing. I went into this expecting it to be more couples counseling centered on my partner. It has been more support for issues in my life than I expected. Oblio has been so helpful in my personal life and my life with my partner.

In every meeting Oblio shows a high degree of professionalism and empathy that have been very helpful for me and my partner

During the ten years I worked closely with Oblio Stroyman on social justice issues, I found them to be a steady, solid shoulder to lean on. They hold space like a glass holds water. Their calm demeanor ensures that everyone feels a sense of belonging. Their compassion and wisdom defused many issues before they became problems. Oblio helped me to become a better person, and I’m so grateful for my time working with them.

“I have had the honor to know and work with Oblio for 20+ years. From a governmental system perspective, Oblio has always listened, spoke their mind and pushed for improved system structures, while informing and educating in a considerate, patient and compassionate manner. They push and ensure systems are the best they can by advocating and being a voice for underrepresented communities. Oblio is a wealth of knowledge and inspiration to work with.”
