 "Faculty and staff are experts on their students,   but I come in to provide a vocabulary, ask tough   questions and, ideally, get them to identify which   strengths-based approaches will suit them based   on the mission and culture of the group." 

-- La'Tonya Rease Miles 

 speaking.

I am available for guest speaking opportunities, from conference speeches to student-facing events and more. I tailor my talks to highlight key themes and topics that impact first-gens today.

Notable talking points include: 

 Digital   Technology &   Social Media 

 representations   of first-gens in   pop culture

 consulting.

I typically consult with organizations and institutions who want to build new programs or are seeking fresh ideas to reboot an existing initiative. Most times, clients reach out about customizing first-generation student support, which is my specialty.

 EL CAMINO COLLEGE

Notably, LT advised El Camino College, a two-year public community college in Los Angeles County, about supporting their Black first-generation student population. Specifically, they sought to address and improve the sense of belonging, enrollment, and retention of Black first-gen students at El Camino.

First, LT met with a small team of faculty and administrators and discussed their goals and objectives, sharing research about the student population in the process. Then, LT facilitated a larger discussion with a group of campus stakeholders, answering their questions and gathering perspective. Finally, LT was invited back to facilitate a conversation between 40+ faculty, staff, and student representatives.

From here, LT developed a concrete plan to serve the students in mind, which led to: 

 the establishment of Black Alumni services

• faculty-driven research group about Black first-gens

• the dedication of ongoing resources and events catered to population

As a result, El Camino is now a leading institution in regards to serving Black first-generation students.
