A bullying prevention speaker who will actually show up

Schools keep hiring the same assembly: a video, a hashtag, a speaker who leaves before the buses. Students can smell it. Staff can too.

I talk about the bullying we see and the kind we carry — inner homophobia, the meeting that shrinks you, the hallway that follows you home. I am on the path to special education. I still take the mic because standing up is learnable work, not a mood.

Hardin County and the rest of Kentucky are home now. Connecticut raised me. I will travel. If you want a one-pager to forward to a principal, there is a speaker kit you can download. If you want books in the room, we can talk about a classroom set of signed copies.

Send a date. Tell me the age of the room and what you need named. I will tell you honestly if I am the right person.
