Diversity, Inclusion & Equity

We are in a time of social awakening • where difficult but necessary conversations are shedding light on issues of systemic racism, discrimination and the every day experiences of BIPOC and other people belonging to minority groups. There is an increasing need to listen, understand, believe and be strong allies to support equity and remove barriers to inclusion.

Samra uses her lived experiences combined with a deep understanding and education of these issues to educate, train and offer practical implementable solutions to advance equity in the most authentic way.
Family Violence & COVID-19

Domestic Violence is on the rise during Covid-19 due to numerous reasons including increased isolation and frustration, and lack of financial stability.

Navigating through Change

Many people have lost their loved ones, jobs and businesses through this pandemic. Many are having to pivot their careers into different directions. It is a time of uncertainty and ambiguity. In these keynotes and workshops, Samra helps people develop insights and skills to remain steadfast during times of uncertainty, stay true to their authentic selves, and create a life and career of meaning and purpose.

Educating & Parenting through Difficult Times

How can we help our children cope with trauma? What skills can we instill in our youth to help them develop emotional and mental resilience? How can adults practice self-care and role model positive behaviors? Samra uses her experiences of parenting a teen through mental health struggles, training educators across the country, as well as practices, resources, and tools based on positive psychology to help parents build gratitude, resilience, and grit in their children and youth.
