"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. 💜 "
Dr. Rashida Willard
Northwest Regional Equity Conference Founder| Vice President of Equity and Inclusion
"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. "

Coming Soon...Daring to Dismantle Podcast: Audaciously Exploring Curiosities through Body- Story- Culture-Education and Liberation
Rooted in educational and trauma informed social justice, this podcast centers the courageous act of “dismantling oppression, one layer in need of resourcing at a time building equitable systems, shaping futures, and restoring justice through trauma informed education and healing-centered leadership.” While the show is in development, you can still hear Dr. Debi as a featured guest (Videos 2-4 of a podcast series), where she shares powerful insights on how to apply social justice trauma responsiveness and trauma-informed care—for yourself and the communities you serve. All podcast content is for educational and informational purposes only.

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.
