Tinu Abayomi-Paul “lives her talk” …regularly speaking-up for the underserved and taking action to attain a greater good.

Thanks to her for this video conversation about Africa and how $5 can overcome “situations of scarcity.”

Tinu is a friend, BlueKey Campaign Champion, and refugee advocate. She has shared great appreciation for the work by USA for UNHCR. And in this video, Tinu shares striking examples of how a few dollars impact living standards in Africa.

We are in a pivotal point in time
…one that has unique distinction for stories and conversation in general especially in light of social tech — it appears a true “age of speech” has emerged.

And on this Thanksgiving Day, the story at the forefront of my mind and heart is marriage to my husband of 10 years.

Holla!

Years ago with a sense of delight, adventure, and a wee bit of youthfulness, we married in Washington, DC on Thanksgiving. Since then, new stories of our own have formed – some gleeful, some difficult, yet all brought irreplaceable clarity to the value of time.

My husband’s “what if” curiosity helped to fortify vision for a new business – LiveYourTalk (…and helped to maintain resolve when next steps in business weren’t as clear). Experiencing life with him is a fantastic story in motion and a powerful, fun way to spend time. I love him.

On this holiday, may your favorite stories and storytellers be all around whether at turkey dinner or through vibrant memories.

Very Happy Thanksgiving.

Questions on topic and price
Some folks have asked for instructional videos so they can strengthen their speech development on their own time (vs allocate time for Toastmasters or private coaching…). So on that note – what topic draws your interest below for a $19 product?

Thanks for your perspective!

Welcome(!) and it’s good to see you here. We’ve got our metaphorical hard hats on now building the site. But we’ll be up soon.

In the meantime, here’s why we’re driven by women’s leadership and public speech in these digital times.

…with more:

There’s that old adage out there: “We become what we practice most.”

No matter what our professional missions, if we practice our confidence through words – if we articulate it in such an awesome way – what could happen? Could we further clarify, rally, heal, profit, engage, emerge, inspire, unite? As awesome speakers can we propel forward our highest ideals and crystalize our best selves?

That’s why we Live Your Talk.
