Why Book me as your Next Event Moderator?
I am a dynamic and passionate event moderator, fearless facilitator and your go-to host for sparking meaningful conversations that actually connect with audiences. You can find me holding a mic on stage or curating intimate panel discussions; I bring heart, humour with a healthy dose of relevant, on the pulse know-how to every single event. If you’re looking for an event moderator or emcee who not only keeps the energy of your event high but also gets people talking and listening you’ve just found her.
What Do I Do?
I moderate with style, grace and a genuine curiosity for people’s stories.
My mission is simple: to elevate your event by keeping things engaging, inclusive, and energetic and truly connect with the audience and speakers. I will make sure that your event won’t be boring.
I have worked nationally and internationally with major brands, non-profits, festivals, business conferences, professional associations and media organisations that care about impact, representation and making meaningful change. I get to know my clients so that our teamwork makes the dream work, it might sound corny but it’s true! Hiring me as a professional event moderator/emcee for your event can make the difference between a phenomenal event and an average one; don’t just take my word for it my clients say so!
From fireside chats, conferences and panel discussions to live podcasts, award shows and industry summits – I’m the voice that keeps things flowing smoothly and the presence that brings it all together dynamically.
What You Can Expect From Me as Your Event Moderator:
A warm and welcoming energy – I create spaces where everyone feels seen, heard and valued. As a Black British woman born in Hackney, East London I understand what it takes to overcome adversity and the power of visibility. I bring my real world experience, my business acumen and love for human connection to every room that I’m in. My PR and Comms background combined with my personal brand and media coaching experience make me a master communicator and relationship builder; my impact as a moderator is memorable whilst still honouring the client’s mission and purpose - to give the audience an exceptional experience.
Research-driven hosting – I always come prepared; I deep-dive into your speakers, your mission and your audience so I can ask real questions that spark meaningful dialogue and I build an understanding of who the audience will be and what makes them tick. Pre-event briefing calls are also part of the package when hiring me to ensure that we are all on the same page for the event.
Confidence without ego – I command attention with calm, clarity and charisma, but I never overshadow your message, your mission or your speakers. My role as an event moderator and emcee is to bring out the best in everyone in the space that I enter and I do that boldly and enthusiastically.
Cultural sensitivity & real inclusivity – As a Black British Nigerian woman born in Hackney, I bring a rich perspective and cultural awareness that resonates with diverse audiences. I can bridge cultural and social gaps through conversation and enjoy engaging with people from a variety of backgrounds and life experiences. I have a particular passion for women’s empowerment and diverse, inclusive spaces which reflect the beauty of our society.
Proactive and perceptive – Last-minute schedule change? A speaker freezes on stage? Low audience engagement? I adapt in real-time with humour and ease. Despite our best intentions events do not always go exactly to plan but the audience doesn’t have to feel uncomfortable if something goes wrong nor should invited speakers - through my event moderation I create spaces that are warm and receptive without feeling tense.
who I’ve Worked With:
Over the years, I’ve had the absolute pleasure and joy of working with leading organisations like The University of Cambridge, The Black British Business Show UK, UK BME Pros, The Society of Authors, Black Ballad and so many more. From tech panels to cultural dialogues, women-in-business summits to entrepreneurial showcases I bring out the best in your speakers and create unforgettable audience moments.
Why Choose Me?
I’m not just another polished voice on the mic, I am a storyteller, a challenger of norms and a connector. With my PR and Comms background and my work as a Personal branding & media coach I know how to ask the right questions especially the bold ones that get people thinking and I do it all with joy and dynamism. I care about impact, authenticity and about making sure your event shines whether that is online or offline.
That’s why my clients call me “an electric presence”, “a joyful force of nature” and “an absolute professional who just gets it.”
