Randi B. doesn’t give safe talks. She gives true ones. Every keynote is direct, rooted in history and lived experience, and built to start conversations audiences keep having long after she leaves the stage.
“Frankly, I was dreading having to sit through another speech on diversity and inclusivity. They always make me feel so uncomfortable, and nothing gets fixed. But Randi actually had most of us laughing. She made such a tough topic approachable by sharing relatable stories. She didn’t make anyone feel guilty, angry, or different. Instead, she explained how we could all be good people, yet uninformed. She gave us practical solutions. I left her session feeling hopeful.”
“Randi is passionate, hilarious, and well-informed in the D&I space. She is the best speaker we’ve had.”
Randi’s keynotes are bold, honest, and deeply relevant—designed to inform, challenge, and inspire audiences to think differently and take action.
Housing, health care, education, policing, wealth, and the workplace: trace almost any racial disparity back far enough and you land in the same place. Randi connects today’s headlines to the history and systems behind them, plainly and without euphemism. This isn’t about blaming individuals. It’s about naming the system so we can stop treating symptoms. Audiences leave with a clearer lens and the language to talk about what they see.
Best for: Conferences, universities and HBCUs, advocacy and community organizations, and leadership teams ready for a direct conversation.
It’s been renamed, defunded, rebranded, and banned. The label has changed; the need hasn’t. Drawing on more than two decades advising government agencies and Fortune 500 companies, Randi makes the case that fairness, belonging, and honest communication drive retention, performance, and results. She shows organizations how to keep the work going, no matter what it’s called.
Best for: Corporate and government audiences, HR and leadership conferences, and professional associations.
Every day, talented people walk into work and leave part of themselves at the door. They soften their voices, hide their opinions, and spend energy managing how others see them instead of doing their best work. That energy has a cost, and organizations pay for it in disengagement, turnover, and ideas no one was willing to say out loud. Randi shows leaders what masking looks like, what it costs, and how to build a culture where people can bring their whole selves—and their whole talent—to the table. When people can tell the truth, teams build trust faster, solve problems better, and stay longer.
Best for: Corporate and government leadership teams, HR and talent conferences, employee resource groups, and all-staff events.
A love letter and a challenge to the Black community. Divisions between Black men and women, fed by history, social media, and outside forces, cost us more than we admit. Randi calls us back to each other: what we owe one another, the conversations we keep avoiding, and why every gain we’ve made depends on standing together.
Best for: HBCUs, churches, Divine Nine and alumni organizations, Black professional groups, and community events.
In just a few years, affirmative action was struck down, DEI programs were dismantled across government and corporate America, and the attacks kept coming—on our jobs and businesses, our voting power, and the teaching of our history. Doors that generations fought to open are closing. Randi asks the question Dr. King asked in 1967 and answers it with a plan, not a lament.
The plan covers:
Best for: HBCUs, churches, community and civic organizations, Black professional groups, and conferences. This keynote works especially well as a closing keynote.
