• Aaliyah Maura

  Aaliyah Maura, M.S., LMFT, is a licensed marriage and family therapist whose work explores the psychology of self-advocacy and the hidden barriers that keep people from using their voice. After years of navigating unexplained symptoms before being diagnosed with Stage IV endometriosis, Aaliyah became passionate about helping people become informed, collaborative partners in their own healthcare. What began as a personal journey evolved into a broader exploration of why speaking up can feel so difficult—not only in medical settings, but in relationships, the workplace, leadership, and everyday life. Throughout her career, Aaliyah has worked with individuals, couples, families, and survivors of domestic violence, helping people navigate life's most complex relationships and experiences with greater confidence and authenticity. Today, she serves as a behavioral health clinician within a primary care clinic, where she helps patients process the emotional impact of chronic health conditions, major lifestyle changes, and the challenges that often accompany long-term wellness. Working alongside primary care providers has deepened her understanding of the powerful connection between physical health, mental health, and the quality of the relationships people have with their healthcare teams. Her insights have been featured in Essence and The Knot, and she has appeared on multiple podcasts discussing relationships, emotional health, and self-advocacy. Through both her clinical work and speaking, Aaliyah is passionate about exploring why using our voice can feel so difficult—and what becomes possible when we understand the barriers beneath it. Outside of her professional work, Aaliyah enjoys traveling, discovering new restaurants, attending live concerts, and spending time with the people she loves.

She entered the creative ecosystem publishing a YA novel series targeting reluctant readers.

For more than three decades, she has helped organizations develop leaders, design learning experiences, and guide people through change across corporate, nonprofit, and higher education. While serving as a Talent Development Strategist at a local college, Djuana stepped away from her career to become the primary caregiver for her aging mother. During that season, she recognized that the marketplace had evolved. Drawing from her background in organizational development, she placed herself on her own Performance Improvement Plan (PIP), not because she lacked experience, but because she knew she needed to develop the skills required to navigate a rapidly changing world. She became a student again. Determined to embrace life's epic stretch assignments, Djuana earned AI certifications, built AI-powered learning games and learning experiences, began teaching women how to confidently use artificial intelligence, created digital content, stepped onto live video, became a TEDx speaker, completed a tandem parachute jump, and even retrained her Jack Russell Terrier, Wallace, to perform tricks on command. Each experience strengthened what she calls her "courage muscle." Inspired by the wisdom of Ecclesiastes, Djuana believes we are not defined by a single season but by our willingness to grow through each one. Her message is simple: When life changes the assignment, don't shrink from it. Get busy becoming the person your next season requires.

It's a depleted brain running on the wrong fuel. Jenai's approach to mental health isn't conventional. Over two decades of clinical practice, she has pioneered a whole-person methodology that looks at what you eat, what you consume, how you rest, and how you move — not as wellness add-ons, but as the foundational infrastructure of mental health and peak performance. Her interactive CBT/MI framework integrates brain science, holistic lifestyle strategy, and faith-rooted wisdom to help women stop white-knuckling their way through the day and start building lives that are genuinely sustainable. Just Functioning to Fierce is her most personal work yet — a 30-day devotional built from 20 years at the front lines of women's mental health, distilled into daily practices that are clinically grounded, spiritually anchored, and immediately actionable.

Most audiences know Lemar for her expertise in win-win negotiations. This TEDx Talk, however, reflects a deeply personal mission. Her first board was with CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates), advocating for children navigating the foster care system. Through that experience, she learned that African American children are disproportionately represented in foster care and are adopted at lower rates than children of other racial backgrounds. When she and her husband decided to start a family, that knowledge led them to pursue adoption. In this TEDx Talk, Lemar shares the adoption story of their beloved son and challenges common misconceptions about adoption in the USA. Her hope is that people who want to become parents will discover that infants and children are waiting to be adopted here in America. Every child should have the security, stability, and unconditional love of a family.
