Signature topics for 2025 include:

Why DEI matters now more than ever:
Drawing on real life stories, we lean on the latest research about belonging, combined with studies on corporate performance, to make a clear case for organizations to continue focusing on their most valuable asset - their people.

How to have difficult conversations:
In a time that appears more divided than ever, we pull from the science to emphasize the need for community, and discuss the skills needed for us to actively listen and connect across differences.

Other customizable topics include:

• Back to basics - The law, history, and psychology of America and the practical things we can do to be more anti-racist

• Belonging and the biracial/multiracial experience

• The legal and practical applications for intersectionality

• Being Asian in America + debunking the Model Minority Myth 

• Raising upstanders - one for the parents!
