Every Talk is a Transformation. Every Message is Designed to Move.

I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all presentations. Every talk is crafted to speak directly to the room—whether it’s a conference of thousands or a private boardroom of leaders. Below are my most-requested keynote themes. Each session can be customized as a keynote, workshop, or executive experience.

SIGNATURE KEYNOTES

Every keynote is tailored to your audience's needs. I blend transformational storytelling with real-life resilience and proven frameworks that create lasting impact.

The Seventh Doctor: Why Patient Advocacy Saved My Life

Six doctors told me I was "just tired." Six doctors dismissed my concerns as a Black woman who knew something was fundamentally wrong. Dr. Theodore Haley was the seventh doctor. He listened when others didn't. He diagnosed aggressive thyroid cancer that would have killed me if I had stopped at doctor number six.

This powerful keynote addresses the life-and-death consequences of healthcare disparities, the importance of patient advocacy, and how one listening doctor can save a life. I share my story with raw transparency to teach both healthcare professionals and patients how to bridge the gap between dismissal and diagnosis.

Owning the Room: How to Build Unshakable Confidence as a Woman in Leadership

As a Black woman who navigated Fortune 500 leadership, survived cancer while building a business, and refused to shrink to make others comfortable—I know what it costs to own your space. This keynote is for women who are done playing small, done apologizing for their expertise, and ready to command the authority they've earned.

I teach women leaders how to show up with presence, speak with power, and lead without apology—even in spaces that weren't designed for them.

Audiences walk away knowing how to:

→ Command authority in male-dominated spaces
→ Build executive presence that demands respect

This is the talk that makes women stand taller before they even leave their seats.

Unshakable Resilience:

How to Lead with Authority When Everything Tries to Break You

This is for leaders who've been tested—by loss, by adversity, by systems that tried to break them—and still had to show up, lead, and build something meaningful. Drawing from my journey of losing my father at 18, surviving cancer after being dismissed by six doctors, and navigating workplace challenges in Fortune 500 corporate America, I teach the Lead Like a Brand™ framework for building unshakable authority.

Audiences walk away understanding how to:

→ Command respect even when you feel most vulnerable
