As an award-winning Motivational Speaker, past speaking engagements have been commented as inspiring, engaging, heartfelt, educational, and informative. Michelle’s storytelling, personal living experience, and presentations help break down corporate barriers, build awareness, change mindsets and unconscious biases, and make a difference in the community for people who identify themselves of living with a disability – both visible and invisible ones.
Past clients range from banks, law offices, community organizations, a consulting/advisory firm, an insurance company, a manufacturing firm, non-profit organizations, high schools, post-secondary education, government ministries to fundraising events. Michelle has shared keynotes to audiences of 250+ attendees as a member of the United Way Speakers’ Bureau for 5 years, virtually via social media platforms including 1000+ participants, via online summits, at health forums, local career development conferences and in the United States, and within the disability community.
Over the last number of years, Michelle has become nationally-known as an expert in accessibility and inclusion for people who identify themselves of living with a disability. She virtually co-presented an on-demand session named Accessible Transition: From the Classroom to the Boardroom at the CANNEXUS21 Virtual Conference: 6th Annual Canada’s Career Development Conference. Also, she has been selected to present at the Durham Disability Employment Awareness Conference, Ontario Alliance of Black School Educators 6th Annual Conference: Empowering Educational Excellence Through Equity, and the Transition and College Center of the New York Department of Education, Division of Specialized Instruction and Student Supports.
“One of my passions is to spread accessibility knowledge and benefits to support individuals with disabilities in an empowering, motivating and sustainable way.”
