Greetings Reader,

This time last year, I was sitting the Adult Survivors panel at the One Retinoblastoma World Conference in Hawaii sharing my story of surviving childhood eye cancer to building platforms that amplify voices through storytelling, public speaking, and podcasting. You can watch my three minute section here.

​

Now, one year later during World Blindness Month/Disability Employment Awareness Month, I’ve been reflecting on how far I’ve come — not just as an advocate, but as a media producer, event curator, and brand strategist. I've done family reunions, festivals, panels and summits. Whether I am the one who is speaking/moderating, or I am the speaker concierge, or I am on the marketing and content creation team, my work leaves the kind of impact that ensure that the marginalized are seen and heard.

Over the last ten years, I’ve produced events that center accessibility and inclusion — often before those words became buzzwords. From local community gatherings to international retreats, I’ve learned that true visibility isn’t just about who’s on stage — it’s about who feels seen, heard, and included in the room. That same passion for visibility and inclusion is what fuels one aspect of my next chapter: advocacy and revamping my bespoke media agency.

Next month, I’m hosting a series of AI Brand Building Workshops designed to help entrepreneurs simplify their content, connect deeper with their audiences, and use technology with intention. I will be teaching you how to build brands that are accessible, authentic, and powered by AI. If you’ve ever felt like you could be more productive, your message gets lost in the noise, and you want to maintain your authenticity, this series is for you.
