HI, I’M JANORA MCDUFFIE!

I’m an actress, voiceover artist, and keynote speaker who left the world of corporate America to go after my Hollywood dreams. You might have seen me on shows like Grey’s Anatomy, NCIS, or This Is Us, and you might have heard my voice as the Live Announcer for the 94th Academy Awards. Along the way, I’ve turned my life lessons into powerful stories and tools that help others shine in their own spotlight.

Through my speaking engagements I blend heartfelt storytelling with an engaging presence that turns every audience into a part of the experience. It’s not just about the content I share; it’s about the energy and connection we create together. Let’s find your inner star and let it shine!

Chasing Your Dreams & Reinventing Yourself

Janora shares her leap from corporate consultant to Hollywood actress. Through personal stories of risk, rejection, and resilience, she encourages audiences to trust their own voice, embrace the detours, and pursue their dreams with clarity and conviction.

Defining Success On Your Own Terms

In a world obsessed with milestones, Janora invites audiences to rediscover the power of moments. Drawing from her own journey, she shares how defining success for yourself—and backing it with intentional, everyday habits—can transform not just your career, but your entire sense of purpose.

Living Authentically

Janora offers a powerful reflection on living authentically in spaces not always built for you. With insight from her experience as a queer woman in entertainment, she celebrates individuality, visibility, and the strength it takes to stand fully in your truth—no matter the room.

Thriving After Adversity

As a colon cancer survivor, Janora speaks candidly about facing fear, finding faith, and the urgency of listening to your body. Her story is both a celebration of life and a call to action—reminding audiences that awareness and early detection can save lives, and gratitude can transform them.

SPEAKING TOPICS

Whether you are looking for a speaker to motivate a stadium of 20,000 sales consultants or coach an executive boardroom of 10, Janora delivers a tailored message that impacts each individual — leaving them with the tools to create lasting change.
