Motivation
From accountant to runway model to celebrity chef, Carla Hall never gave up on discovering her authentic self. Now, the Washington Post hails her as “the most visible black person in food.”
In this speech, Hall shares both the triumphs and missteps that kept her on the path to being her true self:
“Say ‘yes’, adventure follows, then growth.” – Carla Hall
Diversity Equity & Inclusion
In America, our diverse food traditions make the dinner table a place where we can celebrate our differences.
Carla shares stories from her journey across the Southern United States to discover her roots in the American food traditions shaped by the African Diaspora.
Through these stories, Carla illustrates that by understanding how African American contributions are bigger than what they were given credit for, African American students can begin to own these stories and create opportunities for themselves.
Comedy
The secret to Carla Hall’s success? She steps outside of her comfort zone to stockpile an array of tools which she draws from during difficult times, stimulating personal growth and professional success.
In order to lead by example, audiences will witness Carla scare herself – live – with a comedy set and learn ways to map out their own fear facing adventures.
Why? Because facing fears spurs growth and inspires transformation, both of which have driven the success of this two-time “Top Chef” finalist and fan-favorite.
