Equity-Focused Training for Teams and Conferences
Why These Experiences Matter
Workshops and conference sessions with Malakai Strong, MSW, are designed to move participants beyond awareness and into meaningful reflection and action. Unlike keynote presentations, these sessions are conversational, interactive, and solution-focused – making them ideal for deep learning, team engagement, and organizational culture building.
Drawing from his lived experience as a wheelchair user and his background in social work, Malakai creates spaces where participants can safely explore topics like accessibility, intersectionality, and mental health equity while actively applying inclusive practices in real time.

- Challenge internalized biases and assumptions
- Build understanding of intersectionality in daily life
- Enhance cultural competency in team interactions
- Teach practical steps for accessibility and inclusion
- Empower allies to show up with purpose and empathy
