“Expressing yourself should be personally liberating for people of all ages and backgrounds, but right now, it’s not.”

- AnnMarie Baines

WORKSHOPS & TOPICS

Dr. Baines draws on her experience as a quiet, mixed race girl who embraces her fear of public speaking while teaching people to do the same. She champions kind, joyful experiences to develop voice.

Together with her colleagues at her nonprofit, The Practice Space, Dr. Baines introduces Expression-Driven Teaching as a way to pursue equity in education and counter the oppression that has long silenced the voices of marginalized groups.

If you want a public speaker who will inspire her listeners to get better or just be better, you want AnnMarie Baines. She is a difference maker, she speaks like a difference maker, and she inspires her audience to join her in difference-making.
