My approach to speaking and communications work is grounded in critical pedagogy and liberation-focused messaging that helps audiences develop critical consciousness while inspiring action for justice.
Whether you need keynote speaking, workshop facilitation, strategic communication consulting, or a guest on a podcast, video, news article, or class, I authentic storytelling and structural analysis.
