Workshops & Advisory.

Longer-term work with schools, companies, and nonprofits: workshops, advising, program design, and facilitation.

Premise

A talk is a starting point. Workshops and advising are where the work gets done. I work with organizations that are ready to move from talking about change to making it.

For school boards, companies, universities, and foundations that want a real equity strategy, not just a statement. For teachers building better classrooms. For leadership teams in the middle of growth. For boards asking harder questions about who they serve.

I scope each engagement to the group, ground it in evidence, and shape it with you before anything begins.

A workshop series

One workshop series.
1,995 students.

“STEM Needs You” was a four-session series I designed and led with school boards across Ontario. It reached almost two thousand students in a single round, all in live sessions. Afterwards, students kept returning to three things: that STEM was bigger than they had been taught, that they were now considering science courses they had not planned to take, and that science could be worth doing for its own sake, not just for grades.

Feedback

What participants say.

“As a Black student who is interested in science, you really inspired me and showed me that I can do it too. Thank you so much.”

“I originally did not have much interest in science and didn't plan to continue taking it, but this presentation taught me a lot about the opportunities that come along with it. Your story was very inspiring.”

“I have heard her speak on many occasions and in many different contexts, and every single time I have learned something new and been left better for it. She speaks from the heart.”

Cindy CosentinoDirector, School Board Relations · Brock University & STAO

“She was our keynote speaker at our first ever Black Brilliance student conference, and because she was so incredible we had to invite her back to keynote the following year as well.”

What makes her effective is she lays bare her dreams and models this for the young people she is trying to inspire, and then manifests them into reality.

Workshops, advisory, facilitation, or program design. Every engagement starts with a conversation about what you need.
