These communities reflect the breadth of organizations where I teach, speak, collaborate, and contribute identity-centered work.
Introduction
My work spans identity architecture, neurodivergent leadership, intersectional research, and community education. These engagements represent the breadth of spaces where I teach, speak, and collaborate to advance identity-centered leadership for culturally complex and neurodivergent women. This page reflects the breadth of my work across psychology, neurodiversity, culture, and identity design—capturing the evolving spaces where I teach, speak, research, and build sentient-centered leadership tools.
What This Page Represents
Selected speaking engagements, guest features, and identity-centered work across psychology, neurodiversity, leadership, and culturally complex communities. Each event reflects my commitment to designing sapient, trauma-aware spaces where ND and culturally complex women navigate identity, work, and culture with definition and dignity.
WE ROAR Magazine — Featured Interview (Issue 16)
Featured interviewee in WE ROAR Magazine Issue 16, a publication for impact-driven business owners, creatives, and leaders. The interview covers the founding of The Unfolding Room™, the gap between collecting feedback and actually listening, and what it means to research the populations you belong to — as an Afro-Indigenous Latina, veteran caregiver, and late-identified neurodivergent woman building the work from the inside.
National Veterans Chamber — Veteran Leadership Panel: Leaders in Action (2026)
Panelist for the National Veterans Chamber's Veteran Leadership Panel, speaking on the invisible load carried by designated veteran caregivers and the systemic gap between veteran-centered support design and whole-family transition. The session addressed why veteran transition is never just the veteran's transition — and what happens when the caregiver's identity, capacity, and well-being are absent from the systems designed to help.
DREAM-U Zine — Activism Spotlight
Featured in the November 2025 issue of the DREAM-U Zine, a community-centered publication created by and for disabled students in higher education. This issue centers disability justice, intersectionality, and collective care, and includes an activism spotlight on my work related to neurodivergent leadership.
Latino AI Summit — Featured Speaker (2026)
Featured speaker at the Latino AI Summit 2026, a global convening exploring the intersection of artificial intelligence, culture, and leadership. The session examined how culturally complex and neurodivergent leaders are affected by AI-mediated workplace systems — and why the populations most impacted by those design choices are the same populations underrepresented in the training data.
