Meet the Speakers

At TruthSpeaks 365, integrity matters. We don’t just send any speaker to any school or organization — we make sure the right voice is matched with the right audience. Every speaker on our team is a former educator, mental health professional, or leader with powerful stories and proven expertise.

Our commitment is simple: when you work with us, you get a speaker who not only understands your students but also delivers an experience that aligns with your school or organization’s goals.

Below, you’ll meet our speakers and their areas of expertise. Each one brings a unique story, skill set, and energy — and all of them are dedicated to helping young people build resilience, make positive decisions, and see themselves in new ways.
