TEDxHagerstown Women
October 2023
I had the pleasure of speaking at TEDxHagerstown in Hagerstown, Maryland. This year's theme was TWO STEPS FORWARD!
In my talk titled More Than Mother I share about my journey of childlessness.
Here is a brief summary:
Even before she comprehends her place in the world, a seed is being planted. An innocent and loving gesture, in the form of a gift, is gently placed in her arms before she possesses the dexterity to grasp it. She receives a baby doll, and with it comes an indoctrination, an imprint, the beginning of an identity taking shape.
A blueprint of what it means to be a woman is handed to her, and over time, she learns that caregiving is a role expected of her. But what happens when women are unable to bear children?
In my talk I challenge the conventional definition of motherhood and confront the very essence of womanhood.

Northeast Greek Leadership Association Annual Conference
This workshop responded to the need of individuals who want to engage more empathically in conversations that are often difficult to have. Participants were left more resourced and empowered to navigate conversations around inclusion and belonging when unsure of where to start.

You want to talk EMPATHY. I take the world of diversity, equity, and inclusion and add this to the lens of all I do. I have found that it creates a lasting impact and truly attaches my clients to the work. It is what moves people from performative to purposeful.
