Berthine bridges gaps! Her passion for people, cultures, and inclusion makes her invaluable to organizations and communities. She recently served as a guest speaker during one of my film industries events to a diverse audience of more than 140 guest. Her expertise in the fields of language and Closed Captioning for film and television proved to be an engaging topic for the attendees. I was later a guest on her Global Fluency Podcast, where we engaged in dialogue on diversity and inclusion in the entertainment industry. So, it’s no surprise, she was featured on my TV show as one of the “Women Who Mean Business.” I highly recommend Berthine as a poised presenter, subject-matter expert, and consummate professional.
Their presentation provided essential information and tools to help professionals in healthcare, non-profit and government settings be better prepared and equipped to serve communities with various language needs. Berthine’s presentation was one of the highlights of the summit. She demonstrates professionalism, knowledge, and is a true expert in this field."
I have had the distinct pleasure of working with Berthine in the DE&I and workforce program development ecosystems. Berthine’s precision, attention to detail, and execution excellence make her the perfect collaborative partner in this current season of dynamic and impactful strategic partnerships. As a community and business change agent, Berthine is my choice when the assignment calls for a leadership mindset shift or a change in the company or community narrative.
Her presentation on Interpreting for patients with autism was profound and impactful. It was scored as excellent by the over one hundred attendees.

Berthine has served as a business mentor for years now, but it wasn't until reading her book, "Global Fluency" that I truly appreciated the well-rounded leader that she truly is! Through her consultations, I have become much more conscientious on how I align my business strategies as well as building real, inclusive relationships with clients and colleagues alike! I recommend Berthine 100%!
I have had the pleasure of utilizing Westbridge Solutions for the past four years. In 2016, Ms. Crèvecoeur West hosted a Cultural Competency Workshop for Gwinnett County Department of Fires and Emergency Services. In her workshop our public safety professionals learned about language and communication for diverse communities. Westbridge Solutions has been a great asset to me personally and professionally and I recommend their services to other government, corporate, and nonprofit organizations.
Berthine is an excellent resource and wealth of knowledge. She’s an excellent trainer. A true advocate for global fluency and inclusion, Berthine lives the work every day and I encourage any business or organization the connect with Berthine and start their journey to become a better organization today.
As a grant manager helping lead community inclusion efforts in Lawrenceville, we sought a partner who would do their work excellently, help build connections for our residents, and make the City look good. Berthine and Westbridge Solutions fit the bill. Berthine is professional, creative, and sweats the small stuff (in a good way!). I am grateful for the opportunity to work with her and would do so again without hesitation.
