"Yet, far beyond questions of productivity or academic performance, Sushila's support reached into the deeper layers of what it means to exist and persist as a researcher within an academic system shaped by neoliberal, capitalist, racist, and sexist power relations. With a critical, feminist, and self-care-centered approach, they accompanied me in recognising, questioning, and resisting the structural violences that shape academic life."[...]

“Sushila's thoughtful and empathetic approach was invaluable to my writing process, and each of our encounters was a small oasis of joy. I am immensely grateful to them for acknowledging my fears and concerns about completing a doctorate at a time when academic work is becoming increasingly uncertain, and for reminding me that every achievement, no matter how small, deserves to be recognised and celebrated.”[...]

"To work with Sushila has truly been deeply transforming… I am so deeply thankful for having had the opportunity to learn and think with this wonderful human. I sincerely hope more people get to have this huge privilege."[...]

“I was dealing with unmanaged ADHD and had already had to extend the submission deadline multiple times… I do not think I would have finished without them.”[...]

“Where before there was quite a lot of anxiety and also the feeling of isolation, working with Sushila allowed me to think and create from a place of connectedness and desire."[...]

“I am grateful for Sushila's highly professional yet also personable approach, which helped me feel encouraged and empowered to achieve this milestone.”[...]

“Sushila has helped to provide me with the accountability that I need to prioritize my own research.”[...]
