I’m a natural storyteller and I’m at my happiest in front of a mic or an audience.

(Ask me about my previous life as a world-ranked competitive debater? No, okay. Well I think it was cool.)

I’ve delivered standout keynotes, top-downloaded podcast interviews and engaging talks that make people say: “I could have listened to you all day.”

Here’s what I am most often asked to speak on:

  • Why words matter: inclusive language as a tool for transformation (though words alone won’t save us)

  • Stop hiding behind vague DEI claims: how to speak up for justice and equity,

  • From DEI jargon to radical action: why inclusive and accessible communication matters,

  • How to be an accessible communicator: how to write emails, presentations, speeches, text messages and more which are accessible for blind and visually impaired, deaf/Deaf, hard of hearing (and oh so many more) Disabled folks,

  • Introduction to neuroinclusive communication: how your words can work better for ADHD, autistic, dyslexic (and oh so many other neurodivergent) brains,

  • Disability is not a dirty word: why I’m proud to identify as Disabled,

  • How to talk about climate change without greenwashing,

  • How to talk about social justice without wokewashing,

  • How to talk about LGBTQIA+ rights without pinkwashing…
    I think you get the picture. 😊
