​​Given the nickname Brimstone, Hannah offers a fiery message that leaves an audience standing on their feet. Her honest and raw delivery challenges listeners to think in innovative ways, respond and engage, asking themselves, "What can I do to make a difference in my part of the world?"   Hannah's goal every time she stands behind a microphone is to deliver a message that challenges and inspires the audience. At times those challenges may be difficult, but nothing is insurmountable. Change never happens in the confines of comfortability. Change occurs when people become uncomfortable. Hannah's seeks to be the spark for change. 


Hannah covers topic on race, feminism, equity, the power of inclusion in the spaces we create, women's empowerment and various topics and workshops on writing with authority. Hannah is also a dynamic poet whose poetry covers a range of topics from love, women's empowerment, race, self-esteem and much more to make your event a success.
