MEET ME
As a dynamic speaker, facilitator and curator, my life experiences have equipped me with varied perspectives. The intersection of my rich history and advanced education allows me to engage and connect with various audiences in genuine and impactful ways. I take pride in my ability to distill information through clear and meaningful discourse, and I always make time to build with attendees during and after sessions. Whether as a speaker, trainer or panelist, I look forward to meeting you at a future event.
Until then,
Dr. Ebony
P.S. Remember to #mindyourmentalhealth, because it’s that important!
