Speaking & Teaching

Public Speaking

I’ve been fortunate to speak on panels, present my latest work at The Future Laboratory’s Trend Briefing conference, and regularly host webinars. In 2024, I was also a guest on the Africa Fashion Tour podcast by Ramata Diallo.

My areas of expertise include fashion, pop culture and media, beauty and wellness, social media, trend forecasting, consumer behaviour, and brand engagement — all with a strong focus on global perspectives and emerging signals from the margins.

Teaching

Being a good mentor and sharing the skills I’ve developed throughout my career is a real passion of mine. I’ve had the pleasure of guest lecturing at institutions including London College of Fashion, the University of South Wales, Norwich University of the Arts, and Ravensbourne University London.

I also volunteer with the French non-profit La Chance pour la Diversité dans les Médias as a mentor and teacher, supporting students from underprivileged backgrounds as they apply to France’s top journalism schools.

  • Introduction to Trend Forecasting – Ravensbourne University London

  • Game-Changers: The Future of Sports Fandom – London College of Fashion

  • 5 Gen Z Trends Proving the Future Isn’t a Western Export – Denver Ad School

My goal is always to bring a fresh perspective, actionable advice, and industry insight to students. I’m regularly contacted by students working on dissertations or final-year projects, and I offer mentoring and feedback from a practical, real-world perspective.
