invite me
to speak
and share

I’ve hired Denise Shanté multiple times to speak to graduate and undergraduate students about her practice.

She’s a captivating speaker who makes a huge splash with our students because of her vibrancy and relatability. She brought actionable ideas that motivated our students to design excellence, reflected in their projects. I highly recommend her skills, creativity, and expertise.

ways we can spark
conversation and share hearts

I carry a deep love for sharing wisdom and luminous reflections during podcasts, panel conversations, guest lectures, conferences, and community events.

Important Note: If any events require travel, my presence calls for a commitment to disability justice. My disability access needs consist of an extra day of housing accommodations before and after the event, clear communication about food accommodations that will be made for type 1 diabetics, and awareness of the agenda throughout the event to know about pace and breaks. 

In the spirit of reciprocity, the value of Black creativity, and taking care within all areas of life, I am not currently accepting any unpaid engagements.
