I speak to many groups throughout the United States. My book presentations include power point slides, examples of past airline meal trays, demonstrations of clothes from flight uniforms to handmade Oriental outfits to Muslim coverings. My fees are reasonable as I sell books to help cover my costs.
Please contact me to discuss the prospects of my speaking at your organization.
