We can all remember a speaker who said something that changed the trajectory of our perspective, a moment that opened our minds, shifted how we think, or made us see something we had not before. How we develop our views, the people we spend time with, the voices we hear, and the stories we absorb shapes not just what we know but who we become. People learn by observing others, internalizing behaviors, and then acting on what feels meaningful to them. This is why exposure to diverse perspectives matters. It broadens understanding and expands possibility beyond what is familiar.

This belief is what inspired me to start NOTA Inclusion and its speakers bureau. I wanted organizations to have access to voices that reflect the richness of human experience, voices that not only inspire connection but also equip people with the skills, confidence, and clarity to grow in their roles and careers. As a woman and multicultural leader, it was important that the foundation of NOTA reflected excellence and diversity, representing the best speakers who could bring a variety of experiences and perspectives to the table.

That mission builds on the work I began in my early twenties, when I founded the Women Ambassadors Forum, a global movement that brought together over 200 young leaders each year from more than 150 countries. What started as a way to unite female change-makers evolved into a platform that fostered leadership, belonging, and meaningful global connections and laid the groundwork for my focus on creating transformative experiences through speakers, conferences, and trainings.

With more than a decade producing unforgettable conferences, keynotes, and trainings, I have partnered with corporations, cities, and universities to deliver experiences that strengthen culture, leadership, and engagement at scale. In 2023, I partnered with the University of South Florida to launch a certificate in Cross-Cultural Leadership, now with over 10,000 participants worldwide.

All of these experiences  from building global forums to curating speakers and designing programs inform the ideas I share on stage. My TEDx talk, The Power of Unlearning, brings these lessons to life, challenging audiences to rethink what they have been taught, embrace authenticity, and lead with intention.
