What if getting dressed was a radical act? This talk explores the power of intentional adornment. How what we put on our bodies tells a story about who we are, where we come from, and what we believe we're worth. Rooted in the tradition of getting dressed as ceremony, this keynote challenges audiences to rethink their relationship with how they show up.

A deeply personal talk about a mother's wisdom that became a business, a brand, and a movement. Kenyotta shares how her mother Iris, who never let her daughters leave the house without earrings, planted the seeds of confidence, self-worth, and resilience that she carries into every piece she creates. This is a talk about mothers, daughters, and the rituals that shape us.

What do you do when the person who believed in you the most is gone? This talk is about the space between loss and purpose, and how creativity became the bridge. Kenyotta shares her journey from grief to entrepreneurship, from hiding from pain to building something beautiful from it. Raw, real, and full of hope.

Self-care isn't just face masks and bubble baths. It starts the moment you decide to show up for yourself; to put on the earrings, straighten your back, and walk into the world like you belong there. This talk reframes adornment as the first act of daily self-care and challenges audiences to stop saving their best for special occasions.
