"Reclaim your story. Wear your appearance like armour. Freedom starts when you stop asking for permission."  — Ogo Maduewesi

The Voice of Lived Experience & Systemic Change

I speak from the grit of reclamation. My work is not about "fixing" what was never broken; it is about challenging the structures that attempt to manage, diminish, or silence us. I speak to lead, to heal, and to dismantle the rules of who is allowed to be seen. My sessions are designed for those ready to trade the weight of external expectations for the power of deep, psychosocial sovereignty.

Potential Speaking Topics

• Beyond the Crisis: Leading Through the Unravelling. A strategic look at leadership, psychosocial (social, emotional, and mental) health, and the resilience required to rebuild when the support systems you trusted disappear.

• Rebuilding at 50: The Power of the Clean Slate. Why starting over isn't a failure, but the ultimate act of social innovation and self-possession.

• Appearance Dignity: The Infrastructure of Belonging. Moving beyond body positivity to explore Appearance Positivity, how appearance shapes power, safety, and the right to exist without being managed.
