Speaking & Teaching

A distinctive public voice, Nadia’s talks fuse rigorous research, personal narrative, and creative practice. She weaves theory with story to unsettle assumptions, challenge entrenched ideas, and move audiences from reflection to action.

With clarity, warmth, and critical edge, she makes complex issues—reproductive mental health, psychiatric disability, Black feminist futures—not only legible but urgent and actionable, with stakes that reach families, clinicians, educators, and policymakers alike.

Her speaking experience spans academic conferences, theatre stages, classrooms, doula trainings, podcasts, and town halls. Across these settings, she shares critical insight that makes visible the links between individual lives and systemic forces, leaving audiences informed, moved, rethinking how they see themselves, their communities, and the futures they can build.
