"I had the distinct honor of having Dr. Debra (Debi) Jenkins, PhD as a guest on the Women Who Soar Sister Chat Podcast. Dr. Debi was so phenomenal that I invited her back for a Part 2 discussion. Her DEEP EXPERTISE provided the viewers insight and awareness to systemic racial issues and solutions. She also provided practical tools to help Black and Brown people navigate their responses to adverse encounters. Dr. Debi left us feeling INSPIRED, CHALLENGED, ENLIGHTENED, and EMPOWERED to soar higher. "

"One of my favorite sessions from the Faculty and Staff of Color Conference. Dr. Jenkins so masterfully explored how unresolved or unprocessed trauma especially in the workplace can manifest in ways that create inequitable outcomes for others. We don’t always realize what we carry with us, or the messages that have been ingrained over time. Her reminder that counter-messaging is essential to help us shift our pain into purpose was powerful and timely. Thank you, Dr. Jenkins, for your wisdom, care, and for always calling us to heal as we do the work of justice. 💜 "

Northwest Regional Equity Conference Founder| Vice President of Equity and Inclusion

"Thank you for presenting for us! Our attendees loved the presentation! Here is some feedback on insights gained: an attendee shared in appreciation of Dr. Debi's own anti-oppression research that “I really appreciated the IST of an ISM model/diagram!” In the reflection below, an attendee stated that they desired to know “overgrow the biases that I have is a new start to change and educate myself on the history [of the United States] and progress to overcome racism.” One attendee commented on the direction planned for their professional work with children and families, “Parent bonding should receive more focus in our care of families and included in prenatal education. [Therefore], it is so important to my work as an IBCLC to be always incorporating ways to stay educated and continue to listen and learn what I can do to dismantle systemic racism.” The following attendee shared a quote of Dr. Debi's that stood out for them most during the presentation, "In order to build equity and resilient spaces in our community we have to begin with ourselves in order to understand and make a change.” Thank you for collaborating with SW WA Healthy Families!!"

She was able to balance humor, engagement, and practical application of knowledge with a very diverse audience. By the end of her talk, I watched faces beam with joy around the room. It was an honor to partner."

Pricing
Each speaking layer is custom designed based on context, individual or group size, and goals. Investment typically begins in the early-mid four figures and can go to mid 5 figures.
Why We Don’t List Prices Publicly
Leadership rooted in trauma-informed and justice-based practice cannot be standardized into one fixed price.
Speaking includes:
- custom design and preparation
- relational and nervous-system-aware facilitation
- ethical holding of power, context, and complexity
- accountability for impact, not just delivery
Because of this, investment varies based on context, scale, and format.
How Investment Is Determined
Pricing is shaped by:
- format (self-paced, group, retreat, workshop, keynote, consulting)
- level of facilitation and customization required
- group size and duration
- organizational resources and capacity
This approach allows us to remain aligned with our values without under-resourcing the work.
Our Commitment to Justice & Access
We believe:
- leadership work should not rely on unpaid emotional labor
- sustainability is an ethical responsibility
- access should be intentional, not extractive
To support this, we:
- offer tiered engagement options
- provide supported rates for educators and community leaders when possible
- prioritize organizational partnerships that subsidize access
- avoid sliding-scale models that require justification or self-disclosure
Access is built through structure—not guilt.
What You Can Expect
Across formats and investment reflects:
- executive-level leadership support
- trauma-informed facilitation
- justice-rooted design
- preparation, integration, and care
This is not transactional work.
It is relational, ethical, and capacity building.
