Public Speaking Engagements

School Visits
School visits give me life! I believe these visits are an opportunity to fuel confidence in future artists and writers, encourage reluctant readers to embrace reading, and prompt imagination and creativity.
My time with students is a one-hour interactive session composed of a book reading, Q&A, and an engaging activity. I would love to hear from you about the needs of your students so that I can tailor the session to fit them.

Other Events
Any opportunity to connect with people is exciting for me. I have had the privilege of speaking to audiences at schools, churches, and companies across the globe including the University of Chicago and Howard University. I aim to offer an upbeat, engaging, educational experience. Recognizing that there is no one size fits all model, I work with groups to understand their needs and tailor my presentations accordingly. Please see some topics below that may be of interest:

  • The Self-Publishing Process
  • The Need for Diverse Stories in Children’s Literature
  • The Place for African-Inspired Stories in Literature
  • The Impact of Culturally Diverse Stories in Children’s Literature
