In May 2017, I was invited by the Hepatitis B Foundation to share my story at a U.S. Congressional briefing on hepatitis B in Washington, D.C.

I spoke as a storyteller and pharmacist about my family's experience with hepatitis B and liver cancer, the silence and stigma surrounding the disease, and the need for continued commitment toward a cure.

A Conversation Many High-Performing Audiences Need

______

Today's leaders and high-achieving professionals carry enormous responsibility. They lead teams, build organizations, care for families, solve problems, and keep showing up.

Yet beneath that performance, many are quietly depleted.

My speaking work challenges the idea that pushing harder is always the answer.

What if sustainable performance begins not with demanding more from ourselves, but with understanding what is draining our capacity?

I invite audiences into a different conversation — one that considers energy, restoration, resilience, and the conditions we need to continue doing meaningful work without continually running ourselves down.

Your team may be showing up, meeting deadlines, and getting the work done. But how many are doing it while feeling constantly exhausted?

In Their Own Words

“What I enjoyed most about the Summit was Bunmi's story and the panel discussion. Her personal story was the most valuable part of the day and the idea I'll remember most is that there's hope for restoration.”

— Olumide F., Restoration Liver Health Summit attendee

Bunmi, thank you for sharing your voice and lived experience with us at the National Liver Gathering!

You captured so beautifully what we hoped to accomplish this year. Healthcare must be about more than treating a disease. It must also be about understanding the person living with it, listening to their experiences, and recognizing the importance of compassion, dignity, and trust.

Your participation in both the panel and the Hepatitis B Consensus Roundtable helped bring that message to life. It is precisely why we believe patients and caregivers must have a meaningful seat at the table, not simply as participants in the conversation, but as partners in shaping what comes next.

~ Suzanna, Community Liver Alliance

It was an absolute pleasure to spend The Liver Gathering with you and your husband. I appreciate your willingness to speak up for people living with HBV, asking the tough questions, and engaging with folks from across the liver spectrum. I also really love your perspective around medical care here in the US versus medical care elsewhere.

~ Frank H., Hepatitis B Foundation
