MEET THE FOUNDER

Yvonne Armenta

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.

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.
