The Poindexter Effect: Speaking that Hits Head, Heart, and System

I don’t do “cute inspiration” with no container for change. My talks are rooted in lived experience as a Black woman founder, public health leader, funding strategist, and recovering people-pleaser who finally chose purpose over palatability.

Signature Talks:

• Quit Pleasing & Claim Your True Voice
  How conditioned mindsets keep us small, how your subconscious voice is your real superpower, and how to design a life and career around who you actually are.
   
• Funding Systems, Not Funding Scrambles
  Why grants and non-dilutive capital must be treated like a sales pipeline, how to build funding infrastructure, and how to stop traumatizing your staff with last-minute chaos.
   
• Leading While Black, Whole, and Unapologetic
  A conversation about leadership, boundaries, and wellness for Black women and women of color who are tired of shape-shifting to be “allowed” in the room.
   
• The Poindexter Effect: From Survival to Structured Power
  How to move from survival-mode improvising to structured, sustainable power in your work, business, and community.

Bring this conversation to your conference, company, ERG, accelerator, or community.
