Keynote Speaker
Dr. Eurydice Stanley is an inspirational speaker, award winning author and filmmaker, and retired Army Lieutenant Colonel. After 28 years of military service, she now speaks internationally, infusing presentations with history and humanity to encourage and inspire listeners. She promotes concepts such as the importance of personal liberation through self-emancipation, lifelong learning, and mentorship of the next generation.
Affectionately known as “Dr. Eurydice”, Stanley is CEO of Amused Media and Productions LLC, a training and development company, and Lamp Press, a publishing company. Her diverse presentation topics centralize on leadership, inclusion, and unity. Dr. Stanley’s outreach has been global. She started as a young Army Captain conducting race relations training nationwide for the Department of Defense and expanded worldwide to include presenting cross-cultural communications in South Africa after Transformation (which ended the system of apartheid). Additional presentations included teaching civil rights history to students in New Zealand and most recently, promoting stem education for girls of color for education administrators in Dublin, Ireland.
In the Army, Dr. Eurydice’s nickname was “I Have a Dream” due to her idealism and efforts to unify while conducting human and race relations training. She was recognized as a top trainer due to her passion for DEI, innovation, and her exceptional presentation skills. She was proud of the fact that her military career focused on taking care of Service Members, primarily in the areas of human resources, equal opportunity, public affairs and education. She received numerous awards for excellence throughout her career to include the Defense Meritorious Service Medal, the Florida Distinguished Service Medal and the prestigious Office of the Secretary of Defense Badge. Of all her titles and recognitions, she loves being “Mommy” to her children the most. She was featured twice on HLN as an exceptional “Mom Who Serves” on Morning Express with Robin Meade.
