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 and humor 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.

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

I’ve made my living as a software professional (sales, consulting, and market research) for the past four years. So, as much as I hate to admit it — I’d rather pretend that I spend all my time trying to save the world — I do know a thing or two about leveraging technology to make life easier for social entrepreneurs and small organizations on a tight budget:

• Software for Yuppies
• Software That’ll Make Your Life Easier (for Community Groups and Non-Profits)
• Social Media for Tech-Savvy Social Change Agents — You Too Can Become an “Expert”
• Smart Enterprise Software for Small to Medium-Sized Businesses  – Quickbooks, Salesforce, and Other Friendly Project Management Tools
