Conversations with Kris

Like many of us, I started realizing I was neurodivergent because of humans authentically sharing their stories and experiences on social media (even though I had been a special education teacher for years!).

There is so much power in sharing our stories, and I’m passionate about highlighting how intersectionality deeply affects our experiences. Check out my latest conversation with Keisha Greaves, a disabled fashion designer who is creating accessibility awareness in the industry!

Let’s create accessibility together!

  • My keynotes are immersive storytelling experiences—rooted in identity, personal life lessons, and the kind of energy that keeps an audience hooked. Every talk is tailored to the moment and focuses on leaving the crowd inspired and motivated to foster inclusion and accessbility.

    Because the best conversations go both ways, I always leave space for Q&A or audience engagement. No two keynotes are the same—each one is a unique, in-the-moment experience.

  • Whether your managers are asking “how do I include neurodivergent employees ?” or your employees are asking “how can I self-advocate and communicate what I need at work?”, I take my background in education and current research, combined with my personal experience in corporate America to curate trainings for inclusion and accessibility.

    My approach is rooted in Universal Design, blended with practical resources and focuses on intersectionality.

  • I came out as queer to my family because of the safety I found in an Employee Resource Group. I met other neurodivergent people for the first time in an ERG. Having personally experiencing the power of psychological safety and practical resources, I went on to co-found and co-lead an ERG focused on physical disabilities, neurodiversity and mental health. With years of experience in event planning, ERG formation and organizational leadership, I can work with your team on agenda ideas, strategy, cross-functional collaboration and more!
