My passion and goal are to motivate you with life-changing inspiration through my work as a public speaker and Diversity & Inclusion Consultant.
Let’s start with a flashback of my birth: I wasn’t breathing and was pronounced dead. Fifteen minutes later, I filled the room with wailing, declaring myself ready to take on the world. I was diagnosed with cerebral palsy and doctors told my mother I would never walk, never read, and other dire predictions. I have proved the doctors and other critics wrong throughout my life surpassing expectations and even going to college. I have become one of the leading experts on the topic of Diversity and Inclusion as well as an award-winning public speaker and critically acclaimed author.
My ability to overcome extreme adversity makes me a compelling and original public speaker. My speaking will not only will entertain your audiences but will motivate them in the true spirit of accomplishment of overcoming adversity.
As a leading DE&I Expert, I embody diversity, equity and inclusion. I have coached, guided, and mentored many corporate clients in the areas of diversity, equity and inclusion. He has empowered these clients with the knowledge to make positive changes.
Many satisfied past clients include Coca-Cola, Home Depot Headquarters, Comcast, Chick-Fil-A, Prudential, Southern Polytechnic University, Asbury College, Charleston State University, Kennesaw State University, civic and nonprofit organizations, faith-based organizations, and schools.
