My Voice as a Speaker
Why Dana Is a Powerful and Transformative Speaker
My voice carries a blend of courage, compassion, and spiritual depth that has been shaped through years of lived experience. I never set out to be a speaker. I simply felt called to share truth, healing, and clarity wherever doors opened. Over time, more than forty two thousand people on YouTube and twenty eight thousand on Facebook began following my journey, looking for a voice that speaks honestly,
spiritually, and from the heart. Everything I share comes from my own life, from decades spent serving in Chicago’s inner city, and from the spiritual awakening that reshaped the way I see myself and the world.
I have had the privilege of speaking across the United States and internationally in Nigeria, Indonesia, and Singapore. I have delivered keynote messages in churches, schools, conferences, cultural days, and week long gatherings. No matter the setting, I show up with honesty, vulnerability, and love for the people in front of me. Whether I am speaking with teenagers, educators, spiritual communities, or entire congregations, I aim to connect at a heart level, because that is where real transformation begins.
People often describe me as authentic, courageous, and spiritually grounding. I do not shy away from difficult truths or conversations about race, privilege, pain, and purpose. But I address them with humility and compassion, because my goal is never to condemn. My goal is to awaken. I live by a simple belief that guides everything I do: “I would rather be hated for speaking truth than liked for remaining silent.”
What I bring as a speaker is not just information. I bring stories, spiritual insight, restorative practices, and the wisdom gained from years walking beside communities, youth, inmates, and leaders. My hope is that every audience leaves not only inspired, but changed. I want people to see their own worth more clearly, to understand their shared humanity, and to realize that healing is possible even in the places we fear the most.
If your organization is looking for a speaker who brings truth, heart, depth, and lasting impact, it would be my honor to serve your audience. My goal is always the same: to awaken, to heal, and to help people see themselves, their communities, and their world with new eyes.
