Manuel Godoy
CEO, Black Sands Entertainment
Reclaiming African History
For decades, Western media has focused exclusively on the slave trade and American slavery/civil rights when showcasing African history. The few times they mention any ancient or medieval African Kingdom, they are shown as struggling, a servant-like system, or straight whitewashed. Having kids of my own, I understand the importance of having a legacy to look back on, separate from your immediate family.
For many white children, that is European heroes and kingdoms. Who hasn’t looked up to Hercules, Julius Caesar, Arthur, and other great heroes in western society? These people and their stories inspire white youth to seize opportunities and never look down on their beginnings, even if they have no parents. The goal of Black Sands Entertainment is to bring that sense of legacy to black youth in the mediums they know and love like comics, anime, film and more.

Talia Jacqueline

You can start with WHY but it ends with WHO
It’s not enough to just “find your why.” You have to “be your why.” Over the past 10 years, having a why in your company’s brand has become trendy. Businesses develop a why as a strategy, as a tactic, as a USP. But there’s a missing piece more important than your why, your what or your how: your WHO.

Unleashing your Leadership Potential: How to Thrive in a Challenging World
Leadership has traditionally been regarded as a structured, hierarchical undertaking, with an associated emphasis on material rewards and outcomes. But as technology, neuroscience, and quantum physics make advances, so too the practice of leadership must progress. In this talk, I will explore the transformational potential of leadership in 2023 and beyond, exploring how the conscious use of neuroscience, quantum physics, and technology can shape our leadership capacity – in ways that are meaningful, ethical, and profoundly effective. We’ll investigate how to bring a unique blend of technical skill and compassionate awareness to our leadership roles in order to maximize success. Finally, we’ll look to the future – and examine the myriad of possibilities available to us in utilizing the tools of these three disciplines in leading with greater clarity, confidence, and connection to our teams.

If The Walls Could Talk
Drugs and alcohol don’t kill. Mental health challenges don’t kill. Guns don’t kill. Silence kills. A person experiencing a substance use crisis- a person experiencing a mental health crisis – a person contemplating the abuse of power and violent acts with use of a firearm- all are having a conversation with themselves, that none of us know about. In fact we all go into a space to have the tough conversations with ourselves- where we handle life’s challenges alone; grief, losses, fear, pain, injury, confusion, and disappointment. A space where we beat ourselves up for ways we are insecure, for ways we cannot love ourselves, be forgiving of ourselves, and for ways we feel as though we are powerless, and we are not enough. We say things to ourselves in this space, which we vow to never repeat to another human being- not even our loved ones. If these walls we build in this space could talk, what would they say? Where is it safe to speak it? How does that conversation, begin? If these walls could talk- then and only then, are we truly breaking silence. In my talk, I will share the design and process for living on purpose and living out loud.
