SPEAKING
We have the power to change the world. Let me tell you how.
I love helping people see how much we can do right now, right where we are, with what we already have.
I create provocative, practical, and inspiring talks, tailored to your group’s feminist business questions and aspirations. Bring me to your conference, your class, your team, or your community to talk about feminist business and how we use it to shape the future.
PAST TALKS
KEYNOTE
Women’s Empowerment at Work is Broken. Here’s How We Can Fix It.
New Jersey Women’s Conference 2021
“Empowerment” at work has been pinked-and-shrunk into something too small to change anything. In this talk, I show why the version we’ve been sold is a scam, and share three moves to reclaim the collective, transformational power it was meant to be.
CONFERENCE TALK
Transforming to a Feminist Economy
SheEO Global Summit 2020
Our economy is extractive, abusive, and built to serve the 1%, and getting more women into it isn’t enough to change that. In this talk, I make the case for a feminist economy built on providing for each other rather than profit, and show what it looks like through the real feminist business that’s been modeling it for twenty years.
TEDEX
The Boost Revolution: Expanding Possibilities for Business
TEDx Hoboken 2013
For a century we’ve been taught to grow a business by crushing the ones around us. In this early talk, I share the alternative I found studying Etsy, Airbnb, and Dropbox: a non-extractive way to grow where building your business means boosting everyone else’s, the seed of the feminist-business thinking I do now.

TOPICS
What I speak about.
From feminist business history to what you can change right now, I tailor every talk to your group. Tell me what questions your group has, what challenges they’re facing, what ideas they want to pursue, and we’ll scope out a talk that brings feminist business ideas right to them.
A few of the topics to start with:
- Is Your Business Actually Feminist, or Just Branded That Way?
- The Master’s Tools, Borrowed: Can Business Ever Be a Site of Liberation?
- Liberatory Entrepreneurship: A New Focus for the Work We Already Do
- Stepping into Your Power as a Feminist Entrepreneur
- A Brief History of Feminist Entrepreneurship: Insights from the Original “Purpose-Driven” Businesses and How They Got Bro-propriated.
