PUBLIC SPEAKER & ADVOCATE

About Me

I’m Samyuktha Neeraja, MPH, CAE—a public speaker and advocate creating spaces where everyone can belong and thrive. As a woman of Indian-Hindu heritage living with dwarfism, I share stories and lead conversations that invite others to see belonging as a shared responsibility.​

THE PLATFORM

Why Neeraja?

Nee-ra-ja is more than a name—it’s a symbol of resilience, transformation, and belonging. Rooted in lived experience and a lifelong commitment to fairness and advocacy, Neeraja represents a human-centered approach in influencing the creation of spaces where everyone can flourish.

THE METHODOLOGY

My Approach

My approach is grounded in lived experience, compassion, and a deep understanding of what it means to navigate spaces that aren’t built for everyone. I use storytelling as a bridge—helping audiences see the world through a different lens and encouraging them to cultivate belonging wherever they are.​

Speaking & Keynotes

Through personal stories and practical insights, I invite audiences to reflect, reimagine, and recommit to building inclusive spaces.​

Workshops & Conversations

I facilitate experiences that deepen awareness around disability inclusion, accessibility, and equitable practices—rooted in empathy and curiosity, not compliance.​

THE FEEDBACK

My Impact

"You could feel the energy as Samyuktha touched every heart and life in the huge room! The perfect beginning to a wonderful week!"

Stephan Smith, Chief Executive Officer, AHEAD

"Having attended Samyuktha’s keynote at the Association on Higher Education and Disability conference, I was deeply moved by her insightful perspectives and polished delivery style.  Yet, I was not surprised. Previously, her expertise was equally evident when she served as a facilitator and co-creator for the ‘Welcoming Environment Champions’ series we presented for Association Forum.  Samyuktha also was an active collaborator and presenter for my firm’s ‘Powering-Up’ professional development program. Her exceptional public speaking skills, coupled with a genuinely relatable personality, consistently engage and inspire her audiences. I highly recommend Samyuktha for any event seeking a speaker who combines authority, warmth, and real connection."

Cie Armstead, MPA, DBA, Founder & CEO, Owlservations, LLC​

"Samyuktha is a transformational speaker and facilitator who elevates every room she steps into. Her workshop, ‘From Awareness to Action—Promoting Disability Inclusion in Associations’, was a masterclass of clarity, compassion, and practical leadership. Combined with her unforgettable Holiday Showcase 2022 keynote, Samyuktha’s work continues to set a new standard for inclusive learning and creating spaces infused with a sense of belonging. Samyuktha doesn’t just teach — she inspires action and meaningful change."

Artesha Moore, FASAE, CAE, President & CEO, Association Forum​

"Samyuktha delivered an inspiring opening session to a room full of HR professionals and organizational leaders. Her enthusiasm and passion are infectious, and attendees shared overwhelmingly positive feedback about her message. She connects with people on a personal level, keeping the audience fully engaged in her story from start to finish."
