LATEST UPDATE I'm happy to announce I will be touring with the multi-media theater presentation collective Pop-Up Magazine for eight dates at the end of October 2022. The tour will cover eight cities starting in Oakland, California, and ending in Nashville, Tennesse on November seventeenth. Public speaking is in my blood, you might say. My first encounter with presenting was in 1971 thanks to The Atlanta Braille Project in front of then First Lady Pat Nixon. My presentation was about 7 minutes with me being an early advocate for accessibility for all who were Braille readers. Fast forward to today. I advocate for diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging principles. An employer can hire a diverse workforce, but do they genuinely feel included in the company culture? Belonging is a new concept that closely correlates with the other three elements, we always feel a part of something when we have a sense of belonging. I teach that important lesson to corporate gatherings and thought leaders within corporations and governments. If you are looking for a speaker who has encountered these corporate cultural barriers and broke through them then I am your gal. I tell my personal story but also include statistical-based analysis and describe scenarios that allow every group of employees to be empowered to learn, grow and embrace the new concepts of diversity, equity inclusion, and belonging thus removing the former barriers and opening a path for constant team collaboration.
