I humanise tough conversations and bring complex, systemic issues to life through storytelling that inspires action. My thought leadership isn’t about abstract theories—it’s about real people, real impact, and creating change that lasts. Through keynotes, published work, media contributions, and event hosting, I challenge harmful systems, reframe justice-led leadership, and connect audiences to the human reality behind workplace transformation.

Brown, Neurodivergent & Breaking the Mold – The workplace was never built for people like me—so I’m building something new. This keynote unpacks the intersections of race, neurodivergence, and leadership, calling for workplaces that embrace difference as innovation, not inconvenience.
Where Do I Really Come From? The South Asian Experience & Belonging – “Go back to where you came from.” But where is that, really?
