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.

  • Radical Embodiment in Leadership

    • Focus: Exploring how identity, trauma, and joy inform the ways we lead and support others.

    • Key Takeaways: Attendees will learn to center authenticity, cultural humility (Tervalon & Murray-García, 1998), and community care in their everyday leadership roles.

  • Anti-Oppression Is Not Optional

    • Focus: Unpacking systemic oppression in institutions and everyday life, with concrete strategies for dismantling harmful norms.

    • Key Takeaways: Participants will gain actionable tools to identify and interrupt racism, sexism, transphobia, ableism, and other forms of structural violence in their spheres of influence.

  • Liberation Through Black Feminist Frameworks

    • Focus: Grounding organizational or community change in the teachings of bell hooks, Audre Lorde, Patricia Hill Collins, and other radical Black feminist voices.

    • Key Takeaways: A deeper understanding of intersectionality (Crenshaw, 1989), the power of self-definition, and collective strategies for sustained activism.

  • From Burnout to Collective Thriving

    • Focus: Centering mental health, rest, and joy in social justice work to counter toxic productivity and personal depletion.

    • Key Takeaways: Tools for building resilience, navigating compassion fatigue, and maintaining well-being while fighting for equity.

(Note: Each topic can be delivered as a 30–60 minute keynote or a 90–120 minute workshop, depending on your event needs.)
