The Talk Back


Maria’s events also feature a post-show talk back/Q & A session and a meet-and-greet with Maria.

"Who I am and Who I Have to Be" - Humorous Keynote Speech

 

In this multi-media powerful keynote, Maria shares her journey of being a creative entrepreneur and humorously examines what it takes to create, fulfill, and achieve your dreams. 

​

Maria also addresses the submissive culture that disempowers women and specifically women of color from fully achieving their potential. This submissive culture leads to a lack of appreciation of natural body shapes and a disregard for women’s intelligence. These harmful ideals are perpetuated by massive media bombardment broadcasting societal messages of what is beautiful and how women need to behave and look.
