Conformity vs. Embracing Your Identity

Description:

This presentation will equip and empower you via the topics of identity, life experiences, self-doubt, diversity, the need for curiosity, compassion, a synopsis of my story, effective communication, equity, and well-being.
Embracing one’s identity is difficult, but mandatory if you want to lead your best life and be happy doing so. What would music be like if people didn’t embrace their voice, their story, or the music that feeds their souls…it wouldn’t be so powerful, would it?
The challenge for many people is the inability to freely be themselves. In a letter series and coaching program called Dear Mixed Girl, the exploration of self and embracing of potential meet collide.
No matter your background or identity, you have the right to lead a compassionate, flourishing, and joyful life.
