Delighted to announce that I will be speaking at TEDX Detroit on September 18, 2024.

When Michelle presented her “Monsters, Santa and Water Goddesses” talk, she had our entire group of corporate professionals and executives laughing out loud with tears of joy streaming down our faces. Better yet, Michelle’s presentation also delivered some important content about communicating among different cultures and because she covered a range of holiday traditions from various cultures/ religions, it was suitable for a corporate audience. Michelle delivered well beyond our expectations for a fun and entertaining meeting.(2017)

Even the well-travelled amongst the members were riveted with the fascinating details she shared of living in another culture. (Talk on Living in China 2015)

Michelle was able to use her life’s journey to enlighten our students with an awareness of how Christmas is celebrated in other countries. Her spirit, sincerity, and unique experiences living in several countries helped broaden our appreciation and the good humor about certain traditions brought laughter and smiles to the student body.
