Speaking & Training
I speak the truth...with hope.

My talks, workshops and trainings are grounded in lived experience and evidence-based research. It has been shaped by more than two decades of work across social systems that most deeply impact our communities—from criminal justice and public health to reentry and beyond.

 

Whether I’m on stage, facilitating a leadership retreat or coaching your team in a more intimate setting, I bring more than message. I bring momentum. My sessions are known for being energizing, clarifying and immediately actionable. I help people see the bigger picture, while offering the tools and language needed to create change right where they are.

 

In this capacity, I work with:

  • Nonprofit and advocacy organizations

  • Faith-based networks and justice ministries

  • Reentry and public health professionals

  • Universities, foundations and government partners

  • Justice-impacted communities and emerging leaders
