Speaking Engagements

Speaking is an extension of the work — creating space for honest conversations that challenge how we understand strength, grief, leadership, and mental health.

Through keynotes, workshops, and facilitated discussions, Damion delivers engaging, thought-provoking presentations rooted in clinical insight, lived experience, and cultural awareness. Each engagement is designed to meet audiences where they are, while encouraging reflection, emotional honesty, and meaningful change.
