Dr. Portia Jackson Preston Biography

Dr. Portia Jackson Preston is a leading expert in driving sustainable wellness and impact. As an Associate Professor of Public Health at California State University, Fullerton, she has published widely on stress, coping and burnout in professionals, and the impact of stress on Black women's health. As the founder of Empowered to Exhale, she coaches individuals and organizations to embrace mindset and culture shifts to create and sustain impact. Dr. Preston is a sought-after speaker, and has been featured at two TEDx events. She candidly shares her experiences as a Black woman navigating health challenges, including a late-stage AuDHD diagnosis, and offers insight into creating personalized systems that are responsive to individual needs.

With a background in Cultural and Social Anthropology from Stanford, a masters of Public Health from the University of Michigan, and a doctorate in Public Health from University of California, Los Angeles, Dr. Preston advocates for systemic change to combat burnout. She also inspires audiences to shed shame and embrace self-compassion. Her forthcoming book, "Hustle, Flow, or Let it Go? A Guide to Shame-Free Wellness that Honors Your Reality and Gives You Life," provides a framework for inclusive wellness that extends beyond the individual to the collective.

Dr. Portia Jackson Preston Speaking Topics

  • Inclusive Wellness

    This talk is geared towards organizations and leaders and considers intersectionality as a lens through which to explore our unique wellness needs, e.g. BIPOC and Neurodivergence. It addresses the importance of cultural humility and safety within cultures, from self-compassion at the individual level to psychological safety at the team and organizational level. This talk is customized on the basis of whether I am addressing leadership, staff, or a combination thereof.

  • Inclusion of My Lived Experience

    As a professional navigating late-diagnosis of AuDHD (Autism and ADHD), Dr. Portia Jackson Preston draws on her own experience to offer this especially resonant talk for organizations who are eager to have speakers directly discuss challenges their workforce is struggling with, such as how to meet the needs of neurodivergent workers, acknowledge mental health of those you supervise who are navigating anxiety, depression, and other issues. This has helped organizations find a starting point for safe conversation, using my story in order to protect the privacy of their workers.
