Event Emceeing
Leveraging my experiences in broadcasting and the performance arts, I partner with you to bring your story to life onstage as an event emcee. With subject matter expertise in sustainable fashion, my approach is especially suited for sustainability summits, fashion innovation forums, leadership offsites, and brand storytelling activations.

Leading a workshop about sustainable fashion during NY Fashion Week with Remake

Sustainable Fashion is a Women’s Issue: A Presentation Connecting the Dots Between Gender Equality & Sustainability in Fashion

Own Your Narrative is a personal branding & storytelling presentation/workshop designed to help leaders, entrepreneurs, and emerging talent overcome self-doubt and communicate their value with clarity. Combining growth mindset principles with practical personal branding strategies, this workshop equips participants to confidently share their unique perspectives, build credibility, and strengthen their professional presence, both within their organization and across their industry.
Storytelling to Activate Conscious Leadership: In a time when transparency, purpose, and trust drive business value, storytelling has become a core leadership skill, not just a marketing tool. Identify and articulate their leadership narrative in the context of sustainability and values-driven business in order to use storytelling to motivate teams, engage partners, and drive internal culture change.
How to Communicate Sustainability with Integrity: a presentation for fashion industry leaders on how to avoid greenwashing and communicate sustainability initiatives with clarity, credibility, and emotional resonance.

Ruby Veridiano has greatly impacted my work as a Filipina-American poet and storyteller. She has been a bold and visible representation for helping women such as myself find their voice - a voice that I’ve utilized in my own advocacies and community organizing. She continues to provide examples of possibility while uplifting her communities, which are all a testament to her strong sense of leadership and passion for her work.

Through her honesty, creativity, and positivity, Ruby created a space that felt like a home where everyone belonged and no one would be judged. Working with Ruby and watching her speak was an amazing experience. On behalf of the Cultural Affairs Commission, we were honored to have her.”
“
Ruby facilitated an amazing in-person workshop on Personal Branding and Storytelling for our kick-off event of the 6th cohort of the European Innovation Council (EIC) Women’s Leadership Program. She is a great speaker, and made the workshop interactive and its content directly applicable. What’s more, Ruby created a safe space for everyone to share openly. When asking participants to share their personal mission statements, it stood out that the ones who hadn’t shared much before, suddenly felt comfortable and confident to share their responses with the group.”
