ADHD is different for women.
Different symptoms.
Different hormonal impacts.
Different social expectations.
Different shame.
This March, I’m joining the world’s top ADHD experts for Women’s Palooza — a week dedicated entirely to women’s experiences with ADHD.
If you’ve ever felt dismissed, misdiagnosed, or misunderstood…
This is for you.
It’s free to join and held 100% online.

I’m really excited to be part of something special.

I’ll be one of the featured speakers at The ADHD Toolbox LIVE for Adults, a free virtual event bringing together over 20 ADHD experts to talk about real strategies for managing ADHD in everyday life.

We’ll be diving into topics like:

• Why smart people with ADHD still feel stuck
• How to reduce overwhelm and improve focus
• Building motivation when your brain works differently
• Emotional regulation and self-compassion
• Why life transitions can disrupt ADHD — and what helps

📅 Tuesday, March 17
⏰ 9 AM – 4 PM PST
💻 Live online event

I’ll be joining an amazing group of experts including Elaine Taylor-Klaus, Jeff Copper, Bonnie Mincu, Nikki Kinzer, and Diane Dempster.

If you or someone you care about is navigating ADHD, this is a great opportunity to hear practical, honest conversations that can help.

FEB 28 AT 1:30pm. And I need you there.https://www.theadhdconference.org/adhdiconnect2026/info
I’m speaking at the ICONnect ADHD Conference and this one is for my people specifically.

“Beyond Burnout: Building Systems That Work for Black Women with ADHD”
This isn’t a talk about trying harder. It’s about what happens when you finally stop running in systems that weren’t built for your brain and start building ones that actually are.

We’re going to talk about why Black women with ADHD burn out faster, stay in it longer, and why it has nothing to do with your discipline or your drive.
And then we’re going to do something about it.

Tomorrow. 7PM ET.bit.ly/LateADHD

Nobody told us what ADHD looked like for us.

They told us we were too sensitive. Too volatile. Too much.

They dismissed our stress. Our anxiety. Our pain.

But they missed the actual issue

Late diagnosis isn’t just getting an answer late.

What if years of self-doubt and confusion had an explanation the whole time.
And that explanation was never yours to carry alone.

The clarity you’ve been looking for? It exists. Come find out what’s been possible all along.

If this is your story I see you. 💜

This is your sign.

You’re managing. You’re coping. But somewhere it stopped working. Let’s talk about late diagnosis, why, and what comes next.

I’ve got news! This coming Wednesday, February 18, at 7:30 PM ET., I am presenting a brand-new topic as an ADDA Webinar. And you’re invited!

“What Nobody’s Saying: Black ADHD and the Path to Actual Thriving”

Register for my ADDA webinar free. And this Black History Month, get your 1-month free membership here. https://add.org/webinar-series/

Black History Month is here. And I’m using it to move past surface level.
This month, I’m speaking at 4 events about what Black women with ADHD actually need: clarity, systems that work, and the freedom to build what we want.

Feb 18 - ADDA: “What Nobody’s Saying: Black ADHD and the Path to Actual Thriving”
Feb 19 - Philadelphia CHADD: “Exhausted While Doing Fine: Late ADHD Diagnosis and What Changes Everything”
Feb 26 - Therapy for Black Girls: “Make It Make Sense: Unmasking Late ADHD Diagnosis”
Feb 28 - ICONnect ADHD 2026: “Beyond Burnout: Building Systems That Work for Black Women with ADHD”
These conversations are about understanding what’s actually happening, why it feels harder for you than it looks for others, and what changes when you get clarity.
If you’re accomplished, overextended, and exhausted - these are for you.
All events are free. Links in bio.
And if something lands, share it. Forward it. Tell someone who needs to hear it.

2 days to go.
LAST CALL

This workshop isn’t about doing more.
It’s about understanding why you’re exhausted.

✔ Your burnout patterns
✔ Your early warning signs
✔ What actually helps before you crash

No motivation.
No fixing.

Just clarity.
