I had the privilege of attending Dr. Rita Renee’s TEDx talk in Raleigh, and I was absolutely inspired by her story of overcoming adversity and stepping into excellence. Her message was both real and deeply relatable. In her talk, Dr. Renee challenges the status quo of DEI initiatives by advocating for a shift from checkbox diversity to true belonging, merit, and excellence. Her message is a bold call to prioritize qualifications, value diverse thought, and create spaces where everyone can rise on the strength of their contribution. What struck me most was how courageously she represented her values; her talk was a brave and timely reminder of what leadership looks like when it’s rooted in truth and integrity. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Rita Renee as a speaker. Her presence commands attention, her words ignite reflection, and her story empowers audiences to find their voice and lead with purpose.

On September 9th, I had the pleasure of being invited by the WBON Networking Group to attend a powerhouse motivational session featuring Dr. Rita Renee Gibson. Her topic, “Unmute Yourself,” was nothing short of transformational. The energy in the room was unlike anything I had ever experienced. Dr. Rita didn’t just deliver a speech—she connected with us. She asked thought-provoking questions, invited us to share our own experiences, and offered powerful insights along the way. The entire audience was captivated by the motivation, self-awareness, and self-assurance she instilled in us. Her message was clear: we must believe in who we are, be relentless in pursuing what we want, and unmute ourselves to step fully into our potential. By the end, I truly understood what “Unmute Yourself” meant for me personally. This event gave me a fresh perspective on where I am in my life and what I need to address to move forward. It was an inspiring and educational experience that I’ll carry with me. I highly recommend keeping Dr. Rita Renee Gibson on your speed dial—she has the ability to reset your mindset, elevate your energy, and positively impact your life.
