Parenting at the Intersection
What it means to raise a child with a disability while navigating systems that weren't designed for your family. I talk about the real experience – not the greeting-card version – and what needs to change.
Speaking Engagements
Speaking
I've been the parent in the audience hoping the speaker actually gets it. I've been the attorney in the room wishing someone would say the thing no one wants to say. Now I'm the one at the microphone – and I say it.
I speak at the intersection of lived experience, legal expertise, and practical advocacy.
I'm available for conferences, corporate events, school districts, nonprofit gatherings, and community forums. I bring energy, honesty, and substance. I don't do pity narratives. I don't do inspiration for inspiration's sake. I show up with something real to say, and I make sure people leave the room ready to do something about it.
Topics
What I Speak About
Disability Rights in Practice
The law says one thing. Schools and institutions do another. I break down what rights actually look like in practice – in IEP meetings, in workplaces, in public spaces – and what happens when they're ignored.
Policy, Power & Advocacy
How policy gets made, who it leaves out, and how to show up in the rooms where decisions happen. This talk is for anyone who's tired of being talked about instead of talked to.
Inclusive Leadership
What it actually takes to lead an inclusive organization – not the DEI slide deck version, but the structural, cultural, and legal work that makes inclusion real and sustainable.
The Personal & the Professional
I talk openly about being an attorney, a mother of an autistic son, and a Black woman navigating all of it at once. This is not a vulnerability performance. It's a conversation about what expertise really looks like when you've lived the thing you study.
