The Mic & The Mission
Some people speak to be heard. I speak to build. To shift.
I’m not here for surface-level panels or watered-down messages. I speak with purpose, pain, and power—and I leave people changed.
Whether I’m on a keynote stage, leading a workshop, or sitting on a panel with policymakers, I bring fire, strategy, and real-world experience rooted in trauma, crisis, and equity.
