Topics
Signature talks.
Every talk is adapted to the audience, with time for questions. Custom topics on request.
Call It What It Is: image-based abuse is sexual violence
The signature keynote. What happened, what it revealed about law, media and technology, and the language shift that changes how we respond.
Consent in the digital age
Why consent to be seen is not consent to be shared, how intimate images travel, and what young people, parents and institutions need to know.
Modernizing the law: from “revenge porn” statutes to deepfake accountability
The patchwork of state laws, the Take It Down Act, model legislation and the gap between what is on the books and what survivors can actually use.
Reclaiming the narrative
Surviving public exposure, refusing shame and turning a personal ordeal into purpose. For survivors, leaders and anyone who has been defined by someone else's story.
For newsrooms: covering intimate-image abuse responsibly
Language, framing, linking and consent. How coverage can protect or re-victimize, drawn from MyOwn Image's media guide.
Women, power and the weaponization of sexuality
How intimate privacy violations are used to silence women in politics and public life, and what it means for representation and democracy.
