Erica’s work as a speaker and interviewer is grounded in a truth learned early in her life as a preacher’s daughter: authentic storytelling, deep questioning and dynamic oratory can change lives. She has had a microphone in her hand ever since.
Erica is adept at engaging large audiences as well as intimate virtual sessions and workshops. In any every setting, she is equal parts inspiring and challenging. Whether at the White House, a Fortune 100 company or a small community organization, all of her talks use countercultural wisdom pulled from her work for over 15 years in the social impact, media and technology sectors.
She presents on topics related to: story and narrative as a tool for change, values- purpose- and mission driven work, subversive uses of social media, sacred practices in a modern world and more.
And as a self described “professional question asker”, Erica is also a master host, moderator and interviewer. She sees the art of sharp, thoughtful questioning as one that has the power to uncover truth and reveal insightful connections between subject and audience. She takes hosting, moderation and interviewing seriously but brings to it a lightness and humility that puts both interviewee and audience at ease. Erica has led conversations with everyone from Simone Biles and the late Kobe Bryant to human rights activists, survivors of sexual assault and world-class creatives. She is represented by ICM Talent Agency.
