Speaking Gigs
At a time when the 2SLGBTQ+ community is not even acknowledged in her former religion, Hasina uses her voice to ignite change.
Hasina uses her own lived experience to talk about topics that no one talks about, but leaves 2SLGBTQ+ people of colour suffering in silence.
Since October 2018, she’s given 9 speaking engagements of which 5 she was sought out directly by her clients. From a captivating keynote address to an audience of 600 plus people to small intimate events of 30 people, she leaves a lasting impact on her audience.
2SLGBTQ+ people of colour attending her talks are ecstatic to finally see someone like them who understands their complex struggles and is thriving in life.
Heterosexual people of colour attending her talks leave with a deeper understanding of what it means to be a 2SLGBTQ+ person of colour in a world that teaches people to conform rather than being themselves.
