SPEAKING
I truly enjoy public speaking and am highly sought after for various speaking engagements, including corporate speaking engagements and conferences.
As an avid speaker, I tailor my style and tone so the audience can relate to my message and can discuss various topics ranging from all aspects of DEI in the workplace (racial and/or gender equity, working mothers, intersectionality, etc.) to entrepreneurship.
If you’re interested in booking a paid speaking engagement (keynote, fireside chats, virtual events), please contact me using the contact form.
