Her rich tapestry of experiences underscores the idea that it’s often those who have the least who can teach us the most about resilience, creativity, and meaningful impact.
Valerie’s commitment to inspiring and empowering communities and youth to create positive change is rooted in her global upbringing.
She has lived and traveled extensively abroad for over 20 years, working with over 100 nationalities and volunteering for various educational and sustainability projects, including the United Nations, Amnesty International, Pasteur Institute, and the Marie Curie Institute.
Inspired by leaders who started from nothing yet transformed societies, Valerie brings these lessons to the forefront in her talk, “Resilience Is What Builds Tomorrow”.
In this talk, you will learn how to turn your grassroots activism into global initiatives through real-world examples like Valerie’s volunteer work at Safe Passage in the Guatemala City landfill and the incredibly inspiring artists and activists she has met through World Citizen Artists.
The emphasis will be on the essential qualities of versatility, resilience, and compassion in addressing complex social issues.
