“One of the things I learned in recent years is I can own all parts of my identity without being stuck in a box. I can walk differently than others, be the CEO of my company, and be a super feminine woman all at the same time. And in reality, I limit myself when I ignore pieces of my identity versus embracing all of them.”

UPCOMING EVENTS

May 2024: NYC, in-person with the Culture First chapter

**This event has sold out, but you can message Emily directly to book a workshop for your organization on the intersection of emotional intelligence and mental health

"Bringing Emily to speak at my diversity, equity, and inclusion training produced the highest feedback ratings I’ve seen. With grace and poise, Emily used her lived experiences to introduce concepts of disability that set the foundation for a broad and deep discussion about equity and inclusion. It’s a challenging time for practitioners to build workplace culture; having Emily as a resource has been critical for affirming the identities and experiences of my teams.”
