Whether you’re hosting an event, a conference, or a workshop, Madi brings lived experience, insight, and actionable takeaways to each audience she engages with.
Why Choose Madi?
As a speaker, Madi has collaborated with her co-presenters in delivering impactful presentations to public agencies, educational organizations, healthcare providers, and 2SLGBTQIA+ organizers and advocates. Her goal is not just to speak *to* your audience but to engage *with* them, leaving a lasting impact.
Having spoken at conferences across the country, Madi speaks on her own lived experience as a Queer educator, as well as the importance of inclusive spaces and targeted support for 2SLGBTQIA+ youth in schools. Collaborating with fellow experts in the field of education and beyond allows Madi and her co-presenters to bridge the connection between the holistic well-being of youth in schools and the multi-tiered systems of support researched and available.
Madi specializes in topics including Equity in Education, Affinity Space Leadership and Facilitation, 2SLGBTQIA+ Student Support, Inclusive Curriculum, and Youth Mentorship. Each presentation is tailored to meet the unique needs of your event and audience, prioritizing relevance and resonance for each attendee.
A few notable presentations Madi has had the opportunity to deliver alongside many of her inspirations include topics highlighting:
Highlighting intergenerational advocacy and activism through social-justice journalism, protest art, community building, and collective social and emotional care, as well as the need for effective and meaningful mentorship of 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals and communities with a lifespan approach from elementary school to higher education and beyond.
School Counselors are tasked with ensuring all students have the necessary tools to be successful in life. Within that task, school counselors may feel overwhelmed with supporting underrepresented groups. After our session, school counselors will walk away with the first steps to beginning the work to help underrepresented groups within their school, and learn strategies to eliminate the barriers in doing the DEI work.
LGBTQ2SIA+ advocacy in education can often feel like a silo, especially for GSA advisors in schools. Just as we prioritize outward advocacy and connection for 2SLGBTQIA+ students, we as advisors need a space to connect, build community, and feel supported in this work.
