Reconcile speaks from inside the subject. He is a TEDx speaker, a Rice University graduate, an artist with eight albums, and the CEO of a nonprofit that works every week with young people in Florida’s juvenile justice system. He is available for universities, HBCUs, churches, conferences, and youth events, as a keynote, a talk plus performance, or a full concert.
Why students listen to him
He was a Division I linebacker at Rice and graduated with a triple major in Philosophy, Religious Studies, and Sociology, then earned a Master’s in Public Administration. Before any of that, he was a teenager on probation in Fort Myers, Florida. He can talk to a lecture hall about systems and policy and to a freshman about the neighborhood they just left, and both conversations are honest.
Talks and topics
- What rap does to the neighborhoods it describes. The subject of his 2022 TEDx talk in Miami: music, culture, and the young people who live inside the songs.
- Juvenile justice from the inside. What he sees in re-entry work with young people in Miami-Dade and Broward, the hurt beneath the behavior, and what actually changes outcomes. He has advocated in the Florida legislature for police training reform and juvenile justice improvements.
- Faith that holds under pressure. His testimony, from Fort Myers to Houston’s Third Ward to Miami, for churches, chapels, and campus ministries.
- Going back for your people. For first-generation students, athletes, and student leaders: using what you earn on campus to serve the community that raised you.
- Building with purpose. Running a nonprofit, a record label, and a brand from the ground up, for business, entrepreneurship, and leadership programs.
For universities and HBCUs
He fits Black History Month programming, criminal justice and sociology departments, athletics, Greek life, campus ministries, first-year experience, and homecoming or step show weekends that want a performance with a message. Tell us the format you need: a chapel message, a keynote with Q&A, a panel, or a talk followed by a short set.
For churches and youth events
Youth nights, men’s conferences, revivals, and community services. He can preach, share his testimony, perform, or do all three.
