Bringing diverse ideas and people together

Public Speaking

For years, Gina has developed and delivered workshops in Canada and abroad. In due time, she turned her focus to public speaking where she is invited to address issues of diversity.

What can you expect from Gina at your speaking event?

Gina brings a personalized approach to her public speaking events.   While her doctoral studies taught her how to understand and work with theory,  her projects and community initiatives gave her insights on how to search for practical solutions, no matter the dilemma. She is clear and forthright, and speaks passionately about issues of diversity.

"Thanks for your unique lecture with its central focus on equity and diversity issues and implications for education, classrooms and teachers. The multiple scenarios you anchored your talk on were very relevant. Students found lots of relevancy to their practicum experience. Looking at your website, coupled with the passion you have for equity and diversity issues, your work is quite central in addressing related challenges in education and broader society. I hope we will connect again". Dr. Francis Akena Adyanga
Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, University of Toronto
