Twany was inspiring, uplifting and brought motivation to our students at Minor Daniels Academy. Our students received valuable information and connected to Twany on a personal level. The students could relate after learning about the many struggles he faced and how he was able to overcome these adversities.

Our students were highly engaged while he talked and they felt connected to his story. He is so kind, down to earth, and has a way of making students feel valued and like their story matters too. I have never seen so many students excited to read a book after his visit! Both students and staff said they felt moved and motivated after his visit!

It was powerful to see the light bulbs go off as students made the connections to Twany’s story, the lessons in the class and the impact they too can make. I have had the opportunity to have Twany speak both virtually and in person and he truly has an intrinsic ability to tailor his message to fit the needs of any audience!
