Book Me to Speak: EDI, Pride & Intersectionality

Why I Speak

I bring together lived experience and professional expertise as a Queer British Indian man with ADHD and a practising therapeutic counsellor. My talks and workshops focus on mental health, neurodiversity, race, queerness, and authenticity and how these intersect to shape both our personal lives and the workplace.

I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all inclusion. Every audience is different, and every person’s story is unique. My role is to help people and organisations move beyond surface-level gestures, towards real understanding and meaningful action.

Topics I Cover:

Mental Health & Authenticity – creating environments where people can show up as themselves.
Queer & POC Experiences – the challenges and opportunities of intersectionality.
Neurodiversity in the Workplace – moving beyond “masking” to genuine inclusion.
Allyship & Advocacy – what real support looks like, beyond slogans.

What I Offer

Keynotes – Engaging, insightful talks that challenge assumptions and inspire change.
Workshops – Interactive sessions designed to spark honest reflection and give people practical tools they can use immediately.
Panels & Conversations – Bringing nuance, lived perspective, and professional expertise to group discussions.

All sessions can be tailored to your organisation’s needs, with optional Q&A or breakout discussions to deepen engagement.

Who I Work With:

I’ve shared my voice on Stonewall panels, at Bi+ Community events, on BBC Radio, and in the pages of Attitude Magazine — bringing conversations about queerness, race, neurodiversity, and mental health to wider audiences.

Why Book Me

Professional expertise with human impact – I combine therapeutic training with lived experience.
Relatable and engaging style – I speak with honesty, warmth, and clarity, inviting audiences to reflect rather than defend.
Tailored to your needs – I collaborate with you to shape sessions that truly resonate with your audience.
