Speaking – Teena Nessa​
Transforming Silence into Strength. Empowering Voices Worldwide.
Why I Speak
I know what it means to live without a voice.
​
As a young girl, I endured abuse, oppression, and a forced arranged marriage that stripped me of freedom and identity. For over two decades, I survived violence behind closed doors while presenting a different face to the world.
But my story didn’t end in silence.
Through faith, resilience, and courage, I broke free, and I now stand as a testament that you can rise from the deepest valleys to reclaim your life, your voice, and your purpose.
Today, I speak to bring light into the darkest places, to show women, leaders, and organizations that survival is only the beginning. True victory comes when we learn not only to endure, but to flourish forward.
Signature Speaking Topics
I design each talk to create a transformational experience for every audience, not just inspiration, but a clear call to action.

Hidden in Plain Sight: Domestic Abuse in the Workplace
"Domestic abuse doesn’t stop at the front door. It comes to work" - disguised as stress, burnout, absenteeism, or a sudden drop in performance. Too often, it goes unnoticed until it’s too late.
This keynote/workshop empowers organisations to see what’s often missed, and to take meaningful action. It’s designed for leaders, HR professionals, and teams who want to create workplaces that are not only productive but also safe and supportive.
In this session, you will learn how to:
- Recognise the hidden signs of abuse that can surface in the workplace
- Respond with clarity, sensitivity, and confidence
- Build a culture of trust where employees feel supported and protected
I speak from lived experience, not theory. Domestic abuse shadowed me every day at work, in my exhaustion, my self-doubt, and the way I covered up the truth while trying to keep going.
And I wasn’t the only one.
Many businesses misinterpret the impact. They see missed deadlines, poor performance, or high turnover, but not the deeper cause.
By the end of this workshop, your organisation will be better equipped to support employees, reduce hidden risks, and foster a workplace where people - and business - can truly thrive.
Because when you uncover what’s hidden in plain sight, you don’t just protect your people. You strengthen your organisation.
