The Chats with Yvonne Podcast is our space to explore the art of public speaking, con cultura. Each week, you'll get tips, insights, and strategies to help you practice your public speaking, grow your skills, and speak & lead with your truest essence.
I bring my 11+ years of experience as a keynote speaker, 8+ year tech career as a communications & community engagement strategist to support your growth. I also get real about what it means to be an introverted speaker in a world that rewards extroversion and how our unique lived experiences impact our practice of the art.


The transformation happens in our practice of the art.
MEET THE FOUNDER

Public speaking can feel like it asks you to be someone else to be a "good" speaker.
Maybe you overthink every word. Maybe your voice shakes. Or maybe you’ve been told you’re “too quiet,” “too much,” or that you should tone it down to fit in.
I know the feeling. I’ve been the quiet one in the room. The introverted, first-gen Latina trying to find her place in spaces that weren’t built for her voice.
But our lived experience isn’t a barrier in mastering public speaking. It’s the foundation.
I believe that our transformation happens in the practice of the art: one that uses our lived experiences, cultura, and stories as the foundation for growing our public speaking skills. Through this framework, we don’t just become better speakers, we also learn to trust our voice and deepen our connection to ourselves and our communities.
LET'S PARTNER
Speaking Engagements
My talks help uncover the true power in leading with our lived experiences, cultura, and stories—with community at the center of it all. I inspire my audience to see public speaking not just as a skill, but as a tool to reflect, connect, and take action in their own lives and communities.
If your event is about sparking reflection, building connection, and creating transformation that lives beyond the stage, I’d love to be part of it.
Team Trainings & Workshops
I'd love to bring my public speaking workshops to your team or community. I work closely with corporate teams, universities, nonprofits, and conferences to design experiences that align with their goals.
These aren’t one-size-fits-all sessions, they’re immersive learning experiences that blend my public speaking expertise with your organization’s mission to transform their practice of public speaking and strengthen their speaking skills.
