Speaking

I would love to speak at your churches, book clubs, book stores, writers conferences, schools, ladies groups, or other similar venues. My undergraduate degree in Interpersonal Communications--as well as twenty years experience in teaching and ministry--have prepared me to bring a vibrant and engaging message to your group.

Here are some of the topics I would be happy to cover for various venues. Feel free to peruse my blog and learn more about me, my passions, and my viewpoints. I will gladly tailor any subject to the time allotted.

For more information or to schedule an event please email me, dinasleiman at gmail dot com, or connect with me through facebook.
