Speaking Engagements
As an experienced speaker, I am dedicated to sharing insights derived from my unique journey through life. With a focus on critical issues such as dual systems of care, the impacts of gang involvement and violence, and my personal experiences with homelessness and other social issues, my talks aim to illuminate the often-overlooked challenges faced by individuals navigating complex systems.
Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of engaging with a diverse range of audiences in various formats, including keynote speeches, panels, workshops, trainings, and seminars. Each of these opportunities allows me to share valuable information, provoke thoughtful discussions, and inspire action in the field of human services.
My lived experience is at the heart of my presentations. I strive to connect with attendees on a personal level, encouraging empathy and understanding while providing practical insights for those working in or affected by similar situations. My goal is to empower professionals in the human services sector to not only recognize the systemic barriers that exist but also to advocate for the individuals they serve.
I invite you to book me for your next speaking engagement. Together, we can create a compelling dialogue around vital topics that matter. Let’s inspire change and foster a more informed and compassionate society.
