About this Event

Speak Boldly Showcase

An evening of voices in progress, courage, and community

The Speak Boldly Showcase is an intimate event created for women who are stepping into bigger stages and choosing to speak before it’s perfect.

This evening will feature six women—myself included—sharing short, powerful talks (5–8 minutes each). I’ll be sharing a version of a TED talk I’m preparing, alongside five powerhouse women who are finding their voices and bravely sharing ideas, stories, and messages they’re developing.

This is not a performance.
It’s a practice space.

Some speakers are refining talks they hope to bring to larger stages. Others are exploring ideas they’re just beginning to name. Topics will be revealed live, keeping the focus on presence, courage, and connection rather than polish.


What to Expect
  • Talks (5–8 minutes each)
  • A supportive, intimate setting
  • Voices in progress—shared with strength
  • Time for connection and reflection

Who This Event Is For
  • Women who believe leadership grows through courage
  • Supporters of women using their voices
  • Anyone inspired by stories in progress
  • Those curious about the journey behind big stages

Why Attend

Every big stage starts in a small room.
This is one of those rooms.

Join us for an evening that celebrates courage, community, and the power of speaking—before you feel fully ready.
