Our Keynote Speaker:
Danielle Saintard Valiente is a passionate entrepreneur, published author, inspirational speaker, and dedicated philanthropist in Wilmington, NC.
As a child, Danielle was a perfectionist—overachieving and overcommitting to hide the chaos and abuse at home. For 18 years, she lived two lives: one in darkness and one in light.
At 13, inspired by Trading Spaces, Danielle decided to become an interior designer to give others what she never had—a home. At 29, she faced her past and now uses her story to educate, empower, and enlighten others about prevention, awareness, and intervention.
Danielle has pivoted her life 180 degrees, finding purpose in her past and using it as fuel for her future.
Her keynote is sure to inspire.
