SPEAKER & ADVOCATE

Hi! I’m Deena :)

When you attend events you want to learn, to be inspired & if you’re also entertained, that’s a welcome bonus.

If you’re hosting an event, it’s important to you that your guests have this kind of experience. They are your
‘guests’ after all! You’d like them to come again.

That’s where I can help you.

Life has taught me many lessons that (as I’ve become brave enough to share) offer people encouragement, insight & inspiration, while creating compassion to see, hear & empower other humans in our communities. 

People are drawn to engage with me as they relate to my stories of the growth, strength & resilience I have gained through challenges and loss that include the deaths of 2 siblings and a parent, 30+ years of domestic violence, severe injuries, divorce and unemployment. 

Sometimes these topics are difficult, but that doesn’t mean we can’t talk about them  - in fact, these are the most important conversations to have. 

I bring my own fresh, engaging & unique perspective that communicates hope, regardless of the subject we’re diving into. Let’s talk!

I have a wide range of topics that can be easily customized for your audience and delivered via many formats, such as talk shows, podcasts, radio & TV interviews, in-person & virtual conferences and events, workplace or community group workshops, and social media lives.

  • Domestic Violence Has to Stop

    Break down stigma and promote safety.
