SPEAKING

As a teaching-artist and performance poet, I also enjoy public speaking. Now that I am training to become a certified life coach as well, I find myself gravitating toward motivational content linking creativity with identity and fulfillment. I am interested in what motivates us to become better versions of ourselves, and I keep pondering questions around authenticity, agency, growth, and happiness.
