Sam’s talk was incredibly powerful and I believe many attendees got a lot out of it. It was part of a half-day event and many of the points Sam raised in her presentation were brought up in the remainder of the sessions. She was an engaging and inspiring speaker, who expertly wove her lived experience and professional experience into her presentation in a way that added depth and complexity. She discussed the intersections of co-occurring conditions, gender, race, socio-economic privilege and neurodivergence. She provided practical steps and advice around next steps in intersectional neurodivergence.

Sam is an outstanding storyteller, able to provide context and clarity around complex topics like ADHD and neurodiversity in ways that resonate with a broad range of experiences. She skillfully wove together themes of intersectionality, emphasizing the importance of acceptance and collaboration. Through her own openness and vulnerability, Sam validated the diverse identities of our attendees, creating a space where individuals felt seen, heard, and supported. The webinar was an overwhelming success, with feedback from participants being nothing but positive. Attendees found the session both valuable and relevant. Furthermore, those with neurodivergent identities shared feeling truly seen and understood. Sam’s ability to engage and educate, while fostering an environment of empathy and inclusivity, significantly contributed to the success of this event. It’s clear that she is not only knowledgeable but also genuinely committed to making a positive impact in the neurodiversity space.
