LaNia's Signature Talks
-
Make It Anyway
For creatives, students, and anyone who has ever talked themselves out of their own dream.
LaNia walks audiences through her signature framework for identifying and dismantling the creative shame that keeps talented people stuck, silent, and small. This talk is raw, funny, spiritual, and deeply practical.
Audiences leave with: A new relationship to their creative blocks, practical tools to start making again, and permission to take up space they've been quietly shrinking from.
-
Creating Between Worlds
For art students, emerging creatives, and anyone navigating identity and belonging.
This talk explores what it means to create when you don't see yourself represented — in galleries, in publishing, in the rooms where decisions get made. LaNia shares her own journey from feeling invisible to being collected, published, and nationally recognized.
Audiences leave with: A clear sense of their own sovereign creative identity and the confidence to build a career on their own terms.
