For High Schools, Colleges, and Youth Programs

I routinely speak at high schools, colleges, and youth programs on a wide array of topics and formats. I can create a workshop or facilitated discussion specifically for you that engages a diverse audience and incites critical and thought-provoking dialogue that’ll hopefully continue long after my session my over. I can also deliver keynotes for special occasions.

My speaking style is conversational, and combines both wit, humor, and narrative storytelling to deliver poignant insights and commentary on important issues.

Below are some talks I’ve given, including workshops and discussions I’ve facilitated. This is not all encompassing but intended to provide a range of what kind of topics I can speak about. Please reach out to me if you already have something specific in mind.

• Principles of Afrofeminism
• New Narratives, New Voices: What is Diversity, Anyway? (Recommended for Student Leaders)
• How I Survived High School as a Triple Minority
• Write Your Own Manifesto: A Workshop for Girls
• How To Be An Ally
• Coming Out in Communities of Color
• Third World Feminism: Why I’m an Afrofeminist
