Representation isn’t optional—it’s essential
Welcome to the Speaker Movement Directory built with inclusion and impact at its core.
We exist to radically amplify the voices of entrepreneurs, creatives, and leaders from historically underrepresented communities—including Latinx, BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, and other marginalized identities.
This is more than a list.
It’s a movement to diversify speaker line-ups around the world.

Mission to amplify diverse voices
LET’S CENTER DIVERSE VOICES
Build Stages That Reflect the World We Live In
The Speaker Movement Directory was born out of a refusal to accept “we couldn’t find anyone” as an excuse. We exist to shift the balance of visibility, power, and influence—so underrepresented voices don’t just get invited, they get centered.
Whether you’re curating a global summit, local panel, podcast, or workshop, this directory helps you find values-aligned speakers who bring lived experience, deep insight, and bold storytelling to the stage.
Search by topic, identity, or expertise to find a speaker who doesn’t just meet your criteria—they elevate your entire event.
Own Your Story. Get Booked for It.
Your lived experience is your superpower—not something to edit out.
You don’t need to sound like everyone else to be speaker-worthy. In fact, your truth is exactly what the stage needs more of. This directory helps you get visible, get paid, and get in front of aligned audiences—without code-switching, diluting your message, or shrinking your voice.
Here, you get to speak on your terms—and get paid to do it.

Words from Our COMMUNITY
Diverse Stages Build Powerful Movements
True impact starts with who holds the mic.
Book speakers who challenge, inspire, and actually represent your audience—because events don’t change the world unless the people on stage truly represent the world we live in.
