“I love it when Spectra Speaks…” 

“… an empowering, accessible, and interesting lecturer.”

Spectra is a highly requested speaker at high schools, colleges, conferences, community forums, youth programs and other forums for social change.

A daughter of Africa, and immigrant to the United States, Spectra’s hands-on experience as a community organizer, movement-builder, and discussion facilitator for almost a decade makes her a great Spectra on potentially divisive topics, including — but not limited to:

• diversity within affinity groups
• social justice movement building
• creating safe spaces for queer youth
• immigrant and diaspora visibility in POC spaces
• empowering girls through media
• mental health in communities of color
• the intersection of gender, culture, nationality, and sexuality
• accountable leadership, and much more.

In addition to planning and coordinating a very heavy roster of critical discussions, panels, and community-building events via her role as Founding Director and Executive Editor at QWOC+ Boston, Spectra also produces via her social enterprise, Spectra Events,  a wide variety of community-based literary and performance art events intended to increase awareness and promote more dialog around issues pertaining to gender, culture, and sexuality.
