Work With Michael

Some questions need
a real conversation.

A direct conversation with someone who has lived this from the inside. Not theory. Not reassurance. The real thing.

One-on-One

Coaching

Private coaching sessions designed for white adoptive parents navigating the specific, real-time challenges of raising a Black child. No scripts. No judgment. Just honest conversation with someone who has lived the inside of this experience.

Coaching is for you if:

  • You want to talk through a specific situation or conversation you're facing
  • Your child is showing signs of identity struggle and you don't know how to respond
  • You're preparing for a difficult conversation and want to get it right
  • You want honest feedback, not reassurance, from someone who lived this
  • You know something is missing in your family's approach, but can't name it

Speaking

Book Michael

I speak to adoption agencies, parent groups, educators, faith communities, and organizations ready to have an honest conversation about transracial adoption. I don't traffic in comfort. I create the kind of clarity that shifts how a room thinks about race, family, and identity.

I speak on:

  • The lived experience of transracial adoption, from the inside
  • What I needed from my white family, and what made the difference when it finally showed up
  • Building cultural identity in a transracial family
  • Race, belonging, and the weight of silence that builds in a Black child without being named
  • What adoption agencies need to prepare parents to hear
Inquire About Speaking
"When I speak, I'm not presenting data about someone else's experience. I'm sharing mine. That distinction matters more than anything else I could bring to the room."
