About Me

I found her voice through the experience of being unheard.

This was my first school picture — I was three. Even then, I was precocious: reading books at two, loving to write, sing, and dance. Even though I loved to perform, I was quiet and loved people-watching and listening to conversations more than talking. Quiet but bold, when I spoke, people listened.

One day in preschool, I wasn’t dressed for recess. I suggested I could read on the bench instead — and offered that others might join me. That moment set the tone for my life: I speak up, act boldly, and lead others.

Today, my voice is my signature. It draws people in, sparks connection, and shifts energy. From inspiring strangers on planes to helping audiences bond deeply at conferences, my voice creates spaces where people feel seen, connected, and ready to act.

At Gallup, I coached executives at Fortune 500 companies and leaders in the federal government. Prior to that, I served in education in Haiti and New York City. My talks lean on this experience to build self-knowledge — understanding their strengths, values, and patterns — and develop self-awareness, showing them how their behavior shapes the world around them. Listening is essential to this process. When people are truly heard, their ideas, perspectives, and experiences can shape decisions. People who feel heard are more inspired to take action.

Activism
Her background in cultural anthropology guides her commitment to grounding decisions and conversations in data, story, and the lived experiences of the people at the center of the work. She is particularly interested in diaspora communities. They are often in limbo, unheard by their home countries and overlooked in their new ones. She believes that listening—through both numbers and narratives —is how we bridge that gap, so diaspora voices can shape meaningful impact for their nations.

As a Fulbright in Colombia, she learned that culture shapes how people lead—and that listening can unite even the most complex communities. Today, she partners with Haitian civil society to engage the diaspora in building Haiti’s future. Amatoga brings global perspective and hands-on experience in leadership development.

Art
I find freedom in Soporia. When I’m not coaching leaders or speaking on stage, you’ll find me in the studio recording for audiobooks and voiceovers. It’s where I play, experiment, and reconnect with the joy of using my voice to move people.

Soporia combines ‘soporific’ and ‘euphoria’ —- where calm meets joy, the feeling my voice creates for every listener.

My Voice

  • I love how Black creatives are bringing African mythologies to life with bold, unforgettable characters—and I can’t wait to see more Caribbean myths take center stage too. That’s exactly the kind of storytelling I want to lend my voice to: characters that reflect my bi-cultural experience, honor heritage, and even throw a sly wink at the generations before us. It’s about depth, identity, and having a little fun while we’re at it.

    I listen to ads and animation for fun, captivated by the playfulness of jingles and the way a single line can stick in your head for days. That energy shows up in my work. Clients and peers have called my voice electric, energizing, sultry, calming. To me, voice art isn’t just performance; it’s resonance. It’s the spark that makes people laugh, the warmth that brings them comfort, or the clarity that inspires action.

    What I’m building is simple but powerful: a voice that bridges the familiar with the extraordinary, one story at a time.
