KEYNOTE SPEAKER

Host of the PBS series Historic Places, Emmy-nominated journalist Elsa Sevilla delivers powerful keynote speeches on DEI, cultural heritage, and untold history that inspire audiences to lead with confidence and purpose. Her engaging talks connect diversity, equity, and inclusion to themes of leadership, empowerment, representation, and visibility. Elsa emphasizes that without our history, we become invisible, and without visibility, we lose our seat at the table.

Every voice matters. Every story matters. Through her work in historical storytelling, media representation, and public speaking, Elsa reminds us that reclaiming our history is not only about honoring the past—it’s about shaping a stronger, more inclusive future.
