I am Somebody

For Students

This approach is designed to focus on inspiring students to believe in the greatness within. Antonio believes in the art of bringing relevant content to life through storytelling. He believes storytelling allows the listener to place themselves in the story, and Antonio believes every young person has a story that deserves to be told. But most students need the chance or the affirmation to tell their own story. Antonio uses his lived experiences of overcoming his troubled youth, dealing with the trauma associated with fatherlessness and hopelessness to empower students to embrace their destiny, discover their purpose, and love themselves in the process. Antonio believes the greatest thing an educator can give a young person is the tools to see their own greatness.
