The Stories We Tell: Unlearning the Scripts We Didn't Write But Were Expected to Perform

Join NGLCC's Heritage Committee and The Greater Phoenix Equality Chamber of Commerce in celebrating Women’s History Month with Christina Calisi, owner and principal casting director of Christina Calisi Casting, a proudly LGBTBE- and DOBE-certified creative services company. Christina will share how authenticity became the guiding truth of her leadership, entrepreneurship, and survival as a millennial queer, disabled woman in entertainment and media.

Drawing from her experience working with major media companies, public health organizations, and mission-driven brands, Christina will explore how women and other underrepresented professionals are often handed roles they never chose, and how unlearning those scripts can unlock new levels of power and possibility. Attendees will gain practical tools to recognize inherited narratives, reclaim their voice, and leverage authenticity as a strategic advantage in business and leadership. Register here to attend!
