I am a storyteller serving as a keynote, speaker and panelist across the nation in diverse spaces to create opportunities for very important and at times uncomfortable conversations. Conversations around race, bias, prejudice, identity, vulnerability, being ‘othered’, fitting in, standing out and what does it mean to be an American?

I follow many of my talks with workshops to further these conversations and explorations. I work with school children from elementary to high school. I work with adults of all ages. I work in settings from schools, companies, non-profit groups, libraries, colleges, rotary clubs, government agencies, conferences, places of worship, camps, retreats to any venue open to an honest and transparent exploration of ideas.

My philosophy & approach to the contemporary social, cultural & political crisis is articulated in an essay I was requested to contribute for #StopAsianHate series blog at Medium.
