October 14, 2021Merieta was a pleasure to work with! She is extremely responsive in all communication, and during the event was involved & attentive. She engaged with the audience, injecting her own personality and facilitating the conversation. Her own experience in entrepreneurship makes her an expert facilitator at any business oriented event. She has experience working with students, and adapted her style to the student audience. I would recommend her for any event, and will continue to partner with her in the future. Thanks Merieta!

Please know that I take what I do very seriously and I am highly professional, but I love to have fun and connect with my audience! I am very outgoing during my presentations and workshops. If you're looking for someone that's going to put your audience to sleep, I am NOT the one. I always think of ways to get the audience involved no matter what the topic of discussion. Dealing with young girls and women are my specialty, but I have also given talks to a mixed group as well as boys only.
As a singer, I give my all in every performance and connect with the crowd.
I am a very professional, energetic and engaging speaker, emcee and hostess who holds a Bachelor's degree in Business Management. I have a passion for mentoring and educating young girls and have been doing so for over 10 years in my community.
As a serial entrepreneur and business owner of over 15 years, I can speak on topics pertaining to business, self-empowerment, single-parenting and other motivational & inspirational topics.
Yes, I am willing to travel nationally, with expenses paid. Please call or e-mail me for further inquiries.
I look forward to connecting with you!
A lavaliere microphone and barstool is preferred.

Business coaches Dani Johnson and Tori Johnson have been a great influence for me professionally. Artists like Mariah Carey, Alicia Keys, Aliyah and Tina Turner have been very influential to me musically.
