text: "Overview of My" speaking Engagements

My bespoke talks aren’t empty inspiration; they’re about building analysis, naming harm precisely, and moving people toward concrete, liberatory action (personally or professionally).

I bring bold, unapologetic, and intersectional perspectives to every speaking engagement, weaving together personal stories, critical theory, and transformative practice.

Keynote speaking and workshops

What does bespoke

mean?

I learn about your org, event + needs and create a curated experience centering radical hope, tenderness, joy, and collective care.
