About Our Speakers
Our speakers are writers, thinkers, and changemakers who illuminate the deep challenges facing our society—from economic inequality to systemic discrimination—and offer powerful, practical visions for a more just and humane future. Many draw from lived experience at the intersections of race, class, gender, and identity, bringing nuance, urgency, and authenticity to the conversations we need most.
With clarity and compassion, they engage audiences on the issues shaping our world—belonging, equity, resilience, and repair—and spark the kinds of dialogue that lead to real change. Whether addressing institutions or communities, they don’t just raise awareness—they help build the roadmap forward.
Most of our speakers are also bestselling or award-winning authors whose ideas and advocacy have changed minds, moved hearts, and opened doors.
