Authentic conversations that spark awareness, challenge norms, and give voice to lived experience

REAL STORIES. REAL CONVERSATIONS.

Why Conversations Matter

Some stories are best shared in dialogue. Whether it’s a podcast episode, panel discussion, roundtable conversation, or live streamed talk, Malakai Strong brings honesty, depth, and emotional resonance to every conversation he joins.

As a wheelchair user, social worker (MSW), and advocate for disability justice, trans visibility, and mental health equity, Malakai offers a grounded yet inspiring perspective that connects deeply with audiences who crave real stories, not rehearsed scripts.

Listeners walk away feeling seen, challenged, motivated – and ready to think differently about identity, accessibility, and what strength truly means.

Malakai provided an incredibly eye-opening, detailed account of his life and his efforts advocating for his physical and mental health and how he is using his lived experiences to positively influence others. He shared about the unique and interacting factors of his identities and how they have influenced his life thus far. I am so grateful that he is sharing his story with the world and he is pursuing a career in which he is able to contribute to reducing barriers of care and improving the lives of others. He has a natural tendency to engage an audience and I truly valued the authenticity and transparency he brought to the presentation.

Malakai’s presentation to my class highlighted the importance of intersectionality. So often, we can get lost in our own bubbles and become disconnected from the experiences of those who exist differently than us. By sharing his life story, Malakai has allowed us to see beyond our understanding and look deeper into the world.
