Speaking, Teaching and Public Conversation

With a focus on identity, culture and creativity as powerful tools of global storytelling, narrative expansion and social transformation, Enuma speaks, teaches, curates, and facilitates at universities, organizations, corporate institutions, and conferences across the world.

She is the creator and host of, “Here’s the Story: Conversations with Enuma,” (@heresthestorywithenuma) a public video series she ran during the Pandemic where she talked with artists, writers, culture-shapers and wellness practitioners about intentional living and the power of stories in our lives.

She created and teaches the courses, “Exploring Identity and (Dis)Belonging through the Personal Essay, “ and “Telling Tales: The Power of Story and Narrative for Social Transformation.”

Enuma also speaks on the transformative power of the arts and the role of art in challenging how we see and feel our way to deeper imaginative and compassionate thinking and being in the world.
