Speaking & Panels

You don't need another expert
who read about it.

You need someone who lived it — and documented everything. Diane brings what most speakers can't: the emotional authority of a bereaved parent combined with the analytical precision of a forensic accountant.

She has briefed U.S. legislators, organized a national coalition of bereaved families, and translated the most complex questions about platform design into language that moves people to act. No platitudes. No talking points borrowed from a think tank. Just what's true, what's documented, and what it costs to look away.

What Diane speaks about

Platform accountability & intentional design
How tech companies design for engagement over safety — and what the internal documents actually say. Built for legislative briefings, policy conferences, and journalism schools.
What parents aren't being told
How children circumvent parental safeguards — and why that's a product problem, not a parenting problem. Built for schools, PTAs, and community groups.
Grief as a forensic tool
How bereaved families become investigators, organizers, and legislative actors. A candid talk on turning the worst experience of your life into systemic change.
State vs. federal preemption
Why federal legislation can gut state-level protections — and what advocates, attorneys, and lawmakers need to understand before they compromise. For legal and policy audiences.
