Speaking

Stories can change what people see, understand, and believe is possible.

I give thoughtful, story-driven talks about identity and the power of representation.

Drawing from my experience across media, the arts, and education, I invite audiences to reflect on the stories that shape us and consider what becomes possible when more people are seen, heard, and understood.
