Diversity Speaker - Best Diversity Speaker on the Planet!
A diversity speaker who claims to be the best diversity speaker on the planet. Now I've heard it all.
Perhaps this doesn't sound like an inclusive kind of diversity speaker, but think again.
Besides traveling to 64 countries and living in several continents, along with earning a masters degree in Global Affairs from NYU (2012), I live and reside in the borough of Queens, NY - the most diverse county in the United States (the melting pot for diversity as a nation and then the epicenter for diversity).
I live in a building owned by an Italian; maintained by a Dominican, Puerto Rican and Indian; cleaned by Mexicans; and frequented by people from across the nation and globe. Yet we all in some capacity work for a Jew named Jesus to serve the city and feed homeless.
As for me this transplanted Floridian is married to a Canadian. The organic store where I shop is owned by a Greek and run by Mexicans. I buy my taboli (salad) from a Lebanese grocer around the block.
I live between Broadway and 30th Ave. two streets that are what I call foodie heaven, full of all my favorite restaurants - Thai, Indian, Lebanese, Moroccan, Greek, Italian, French, European, Bosnian, Czech, Slovakian, Russian, Ethiopian, Egyptian, Nepali, Mexican, Colombian, Peruvian, and the list goes on.
My laundry / dry cleaner is Asian owned and managed. My health club is run by Latinos. My barber is a Russian (best ever says my wife). My Pastor is a Peruvian (married to a Puerto Rican).
Beyond this, consider these other diverse scenarios and situations I have found myself in life.
- Raised by Slovakian grandparents as my Scandinavian mother (adopted) became a drug addict and alcoholic and basically abandoned and dumped me on my grandparents.
- Contemplated suicide at the age of 12 because I had a difficult time getting along with my stepmother (Albanian).
- As a young adult I worked at Disney World and water parks in Central Florida, a world tourism mecca where I interacted with people across the world daily.
- I worked at the Emergency Room at Orange Regional Medical Center during the graveyard shift (11pm to 7am) where I dealt with everything imaginable from Orlando's city streets.
- I worked at ground zero in NYC the first week of 9/11 providing rescue relief with the Salvation Army.
- Overseas I have been to Africa 6 times, slept in a tent for 2 months in the bush, so deep and remote many had never before seen a white man, and some African children screamed and ran in terror thinking I was a ghost. Others surrounded me in large crowds numbering up to a 100 people saying, "Mzungoo" (meaning white man). Needless to say I felt like an animal on exhibit at the zoo.
- I've been to countless war-torn nations, including Rwanda where I visited genocide victims and Pakistan post-9/11 where I spoke on peace and religious tolerance.
- I walked into the U.S. Embassy in Jakarta, Indonesia when it was surrounded by tanks and police under a bomb threat because Muslim fundamentalists were angry at Pres. George Bush and the Iraq war.
- I've been to disaster stricken areas like the tsunami epicenter in Banda Aceh, Indonesia where over 200,000 people died. I also have traveled throughout Indonesia into Wamena (a place in Papua where people are naked and not ashamed).
- Before the United Nations recognized East Timor as a new nation (now called Timor Leste) I was there in 1999 while it was going through a war.
- I've worked as an English teacher in Europe and Asia. I have taught English to international students in America's public schools (including a D grade school, where whites were the minority and a school for unwed mothers trying to graduate from high school).
- I've been on the NY subway when blacks made crude racial jokes about their genitally, professional panhandlers played the race card to try to make people feel obliged to give them money, and musicians of every ethnicity entertained or annoyed me.
- A punk kid in Queens yelled out of his window at me "Keep running white faggot!" when I was jogging home from the gym one afternoon.
- I've been in the middle of an Occupy Wall Street protest and countless other unique situations.
All of the above being said, when you need a memorable diversity speaker to address tough issues with candor, tact and class just confide in me with what you are dealing with and your desirable outcome and I will help get you there.
As a diversity speaker I serve the U.S. military, universities, Fortune 500 companies, colleges, schools, churches, faith based groups, women's groups, etc. and maintain the strictest confidentiality.
I've been trained by the best and the brightest for negotiations (Harvard Business School and Washington School of Business); conflict resolution (Hofstra Law School and West Florida University); NLP life coaching (NLP Coaching Institute of California) and advanced interrogation (Reid & Associates co-founders of the polygraph for lie detection).
As a diversity speaker I realize you can't heal what you can't feel. Therefore as a diversity speaker I pull from my worldwide personal experiences and stories to connect and community the message of diversity, transcend stereotypical limitations and build people powerfully to live interconnected and meaningful lives.
