Dr. Naieema Speaks

In the vibrant tapestry of k-12 education, where every brushstroke shapes the future, imagine instilling a trio of virtues—AWARENESS, AUDACITY, APPLAUSE— into the very fabric of your school.

This is not merely an approach; it's a transformative paradigm destined to elevate your students and your school's legacy.

🌟AWARENESS: Illuminate the Pathways to Possibility

For students, navigating the complexities of life can be like traversing a labyrinth. AWARENESS becomes the guiding torch, illuminating pathways to possibilities they might not have considered. Picture students becoming cognizant of their potential, their unique gifts, and the myriad opportunities awaiting them beyond the confines of their current circumstances.

🚀 AUDACITY: Ignite the Flames of Fearless Ambition

In the heart of our children, where audacity is not just a trait but a necessity, AUDACITY becomes the catalyst for transcending limitations. Envision students daring to dream beyond societal expectations, educators boldly innovating in the face of challenges, and your school becoming a beacon of audacious ambition—a haven for those who refuse to be defined by their surroundings.

👏 APPLAUSE: Cultivate a Culture of Celebration and Achievement

In an educational landscape often plagued by disparities, APPLAUSE emerges as the currency of acknowledgment, appreciation, and achievement. Imagine a school where accomplishments, big and small, are celebrated with resounding applause. This isn't just about academic milestones; it's about recognizing the journey, fostering a sense of pride, and nurturing a community where every success is met with a collective cheer.

Embrace Adversity: Unleash Your Potential with Awareness, Audacity and Applause

Description:

When you're a student growing up in tough environments, it is imperative that you're able to see beyond what you experience everyday. In order to cut through the noise, you need to learn how to use adversity as your superpower. The reality is many students deal with adversities. It's how you perceive your experiences and use the lessons from those experiences that can help you reach your educational and professional goals.

Audience Take-Aways:

Ignite Awareness: Raise awareness among students about the significance of acknowledging and addressing adversity as they pursue their educational and professional goals. By the end of the talk, attendees should have a heightened awareness of the role adversity plays in their lives.

Inspire Audacity: Motivate students to cultivate audacity, encouraging them to boldly confront challenges and view adversity as a source of empowerment. By the conclusion of the talk, attendees should be inspired to take audacious steps in their journey, despite their circumstances.

Earn Applause for Resilience: Encourage students to recognize that their resilience and perseverance deserve applause. By the end of the talk, the audience should understand the value of applauding themselves for their determination in the face of adversity and for the progress they make towards their educational and professional objectives.

Amplify Awareness of Opportunities: Expand students' awareness of the opportunities hidden within adversities. By the conclusion of the talk, attendees should be equipped with a deeper understanding of how to identify and leverage these opportunities for personal and professional growth.

Foster Audacious Goal Setting: Guide students in setting audacious yet achievable educational and professional goals. By the end of the talk, the audience should leave with the audacity to dream big and the determination to make those dreams a reality, despite the challenges they may face.

I am an award-winning educator and transformational speaker for k-12 students and the educators and team that supports them. I graduated from New York City College of Technology in 2006 with a degree in nursing. From there, I found my footing in nursing and began to climb the academic ladder, discovering my love for inspiring children.

I am the product of pulblic schools in the heart of New York City. I am passionate about helping students reach their academic, professional and personal goals. After struggling to to be the first in my family to finish my k-12 and college education, I sought to break down what it means, to not just be a graduate, but to thrive in the world in a way no one in my family could seem to attain.

I graduated from Wilkes University in 2021 with a doctor of philosophy degree in nursing. My dissertation focused on attrition in baccalaureate of nursing students attending four-year universities. I now uses my knowledge to help students embody the audacity to believe in themselves despite what they see on a daily basis.

When not helping students, I can be found at home with my partner and our children having an impromptu movie night.
