His funny, open and honest approach really enabled our entire team to think deeper about uncomfortable topics and look at others from a new perspective. We all walked away having a new appreciation for the biases we all carry and how to retrain our brains.” — Scott Case, Technologist, Inventor, and Entrepreneur Co-Founder of Priceline.com https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61c5ee3aa2664f1f4c16e3fb/f0120da1-8743-49a6-98ae-d3fddf070f8e/NASA+Talk.png Testimonials - “Vishavjit spoke at our All Staff meeting. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to him. As a staff member said, “Vishavjit was engaging with the audience, articulate and even funny at times as he discussed topics on race, equity, inclusion and diversity.” Another staff member stated, “He tells us his story of his own prejudices and biases as a way to say “We must talk about this openly and honestly with each other and show each other our own vulnerability. That is how we recognize it and work to change it. Without that honesty we can’t have real change. I highly recommend Vishavjit as a speaker and we would enjoy having him back.” — Barry Gorily, CEO, Children’s Therapy Center https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61c5ee3aa2664f1f4c16e3fb/7897f359-3fac-4bc2-b0c3-32929a610c93/Millsaps+Talk.png Testimonials - We want to sincerely thank Vishavjit for presenting his inspiring, interactive session, “The Superhero Inside Us”. He helped us see that, like superheroes in real life and in comics, we all have vulnerabilities and strengths. Through the interactive workshop, “Our Genuine Portraits”, we listed our hero moments and our areas of tragedy and then we each drew these into a portrait. I shared mine, and it was both scary and relief to be able to share this depth of my character with nearly 100 of my coworkers. Vishavjit provided a virtual space for us to let these concepts emerge. We are so very grateful to have had him as a part of our kick-off Summit and hope to continue the tradition in years to come. We are also grateful for Vishavjit’s beautiful and elegant artwork, which we used for PowerPoint banners and for internal promotion of the summit. We would strongly encourage others to bring Vishavjit in for Inclusion and Diversity discussions.” — Ultragenyx Pharmaceutical Inc.

Such was my experience as a teacher of a World Religion reaching out from Santa Barbara, CA to Sikh Captain America for assistance. I wrote asking for guidance on introducing my students to the tenants of Sikhism, as relates to religious tolerance and social justice. I invited Vish to our campus to share his story with us. Amazingly he wrote back and thus began our collaboration that resulted in the most impactful experience I’ve had as a teacher. Vish’s impact on our students went beyond our classroom walls and enriched our entire school community through real conversations regarding religious diversity and necessity for respectful tolerance. The world needs superheroes such as Sikh Captain America a.k.a Vish Singh to shine a light on one another’s stories and guide us to a world worth living in and leaving to our children.” — Kari Eiler, Marymount School, Santa Barbara, CA https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61c5ee3aa2664f1f4c16e3fb/2246abf8-dad8-4fc1-ac9a-38a55acce571/Masters+School+Talk.png Testimonials - Vishavjit was the keynote speaker at the Civil Rights Team Project Statewide Conference in 2016. Vish was a hit with our group of over 500 middle level and high school students. He worked well with both age groups. His message was both specific and universal, as he used his own story of embracing his Sikh identity to challenge students to think about their own identities. He shared his own cartoons and inspired students to create some wonderful artwork themselves. And finally, Vish was a pleasure to work with! He was willing to tailor his presentation to fit our needs, and even checked in with us afterwards to share his experiences and solicit feedback. Overall, it was a wonderful experience for all of us. — Brandon Baldwin, Project Director, Civil Rights Team Project, Office of the Maine Attorney General https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61c5ee3aa2664f1f4c16e3fb/b801c148-c0d0-42b7-b5e7-5a5138e8f06b/NYC+PS+Talk+2.png Testimonials - “Vishavjit brought creativity and discernment to our partnership – and it was just that, a partnership. he went out of his way to understand our agency needs both for a powerful keynote that would motivate donors to give, and also a multi-part workshop to support our youth in discovering their inner superpowers. he went above and beyond, helping us develop relationships, design assets for T-shirt and event collateral, and a tip card for battling intolerance. our donors loved him, our youth loved him, our staff loved him. In the end he became part of our agency family, and we can’t wait to see him and share the long-term effects of his work the next time he is back in town.” — Maya Hemachandra, Resource Development Director, Solid Ground https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61c5ee3aa2664f1f4c16e3fb/0e0f962f-ca5c-4348-a5fc-0fe09414f37d/Highland+Seattle+Talk+1.png Testimonials - I first got to know Vishavjit when Teaching Tolerance magazine featured him in an article titled "Behind the Shield" (spring 2015). During our time working on that story together, I came to know Vish as a creative and dedicated crusader for social justice. He has a clear vision for how art can be used to open minds and empower young people. He also has a compelling personal story that he uses humbly and effectively to connect with people from all walks of life. Since the article was published, I have had the pleasure of reading and sharing a number of Vish's pieces on his experiences as a Sikh American. I have found him to be a great communicator, a respectful collaborator and, most important, a true believer in the power of art to transform hearts and minds and make the world more peaceful. — Adrienne van der Valk, Co-founder & CEO, Square Lighting Communications & Design https://www.sikhtoons.com/contact daily 0.75 2022-01-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61c5ee3aa2664f1f4c16e3fb/12cc0fdf-2c75-4afd-a2c1-c499f1ce4bcd/With_Kids_From_RWB.jpeg Contact https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ce435d6bea1ed00016ba287/1558964652247-5MWXNMFZVOPGE4TY6U2Q/MHeiderich_ReflexionenZwei-05-copy.jpg Contact https://www.sikhtoons.com/press daily 0.75 2024-04-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61c5ee3aa2664f1f4c16e3fb/0c876dd7-a2bb-4b35-812d-e61fd7eb8e1c/BY+Times+Photo+Only.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61c5ee3aa2664f1f4c16e3fb/151a685f-477c-476f-a52a-742eb32389a2/WomensMarchbanner.jpeg Press - Why women, and men, marched on Washington – in pictures at The Guardian ‘I march because without women, we wouldn’t be here and we take women for granted.’ - Vishavjit Singh https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61c5ee3aa2664f1f4c16e3fb/c4e7c0c9-3c26-4e93-a0bc-585de0a90f3b/artofRNC2016.jpeg Press - The Art of the Republican National Convention Click on image for News Coverage of Art at RNC 2016 by The Atlantic magazine https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61c5ee3aa2664f1f4c16e3fb/38e6582b-9d58-476d-9432-6c4448f2ff28/FacebookVideoBacklash.jpeg Press - "What's up with the rag head?": When I starred in a Facebook ad.
