I bring bold, unapologetic, and intersectional perspectives to every speaking engagement, weaving together personal stories, critical theory, and transformative practice.
My talks are not about empty inspiration; they’re about mobilizing audiences to take meaningful action against systemic oppression, while fostering radical hope and collective care.
