Rosenna Bakari, Ph.D., a 4th‑degree black belt, marathon runner, transformational poet, and empowerment psychologist, blends research, story, movement, and poetry to create experiences that move people from insight to action.

But then you meet Rosenna, and realize you’ve underestimated what one woman can be, or inspire. As a 4th-degree black belt, marathon runner, empowerment psychologist, and bestselling author, Dr. Rosenna Bakari defies categories—and so do her talks. She brings intellect, passion, and humanity to the stage, creating experiences that move audiences beyond inspiration and into transformation.
