Over the years, I have given hundreds of lectures at home and abroad on difficult topics. With an Eastern background and a Western education, I bring a unique perspective and ask that we consider human emotions when understanding conflict.

With new research and storytelling, I engage audiences by offering solutions to gendered conflict that includes compassion, courage, and creativity. I have given talks to the U.S. military and foreign police services, U.S. and foreign governments, schools and universities (e.g., a British school in Dubai, Oxford University) Fortune 500 businesses, women’s groups, research centers and the United Nations.
Sharing my life’s work gives me great joy. Overcoming conflict with love, courage, and compassion to bring about lasting peace is the message. While my speaking availability is limited, my team will work with your timeline. As you know, my work covers a wide range of important issues and emotions. Please let us know what specific topic you want me to address and a future date. We will do our best to make it happen.

Living my purpose means I support several causes and contribute to advancing the lives of women in conflict. Compassionate living also means I give myself to my family and friends, and creative art which feeds my soul. If, for some reason, I’m not available for your event, my team will find other resources to support your needs.

Thank you again for visiting. Stay connected, spread knowledge, and live with compassion.
