Streets to the Stage

Monti shares his inspiring story of overcoming homelessness, abuse in foster homes, and learning disabilities that not only inspire but empower! This is an interactive program designed to help students gain the problem-solving skills needed to become successful inside and outside the classroom. Through crowd participation, storytelling, and spoken word poetry, students are empowered to take it from the streets of their minds to the stage of their dreams.

Adversity University

CLASS IS NOW IN SESSION!  The ability to handle adversity mentally, emotionally, and physically, inside and outside the classroom is critical to a student’s success in life.  Monti uses is signature “Montivation” to teach students how to turn ADVERSITY INTO SUCCESS! Adversity University is an interactive keynote designed to help students develop the leadership, problem solving, & creative thinking skills needed to be successful inside and outside of the classroom.

Which Lives Matter?

“WHICH LIVES MATTER” is an inclusive and educational program, intended to build bridges, not walls.  Speaker, poet, and activist Monti Washington helps students explore the history, conditioning, stereotypes, and racism that separates and divides our community.   He addresses the issues from a social media and social justice perspective that is inclusive and reflective.   With spoken word poetry, personal stories, and social media examples, students will learn how they can make a difference on their campus and in their community.  By the conclusion of this lecture, students will see that their voices matter, their opinions matter, and most importantly, that “ALL THEIR LIVES MATTER”.

WORKSHOPS AND TRAINNINGS

After 10+ years of working with both large and small groups.  Monti has cultivated a 4 step methodology applicable to any training and workshop.  Engage, Entertain, Educate, and Empower.  Adapting topics on leadership, diversity and inclusion, and campus culture, allows for the best possible experience in a group session.  Small or large, Montis workshops will keep attendees highly engaged both mentally and emotionally!

The students and the cabbies who were able to come to the event LOVED it. It was interactive, educational, and I highly recommend it to other groups and organizations. Honestly, I’m unable to express into words how much I enjoyed it. It was a pleasure working with him!

I would like to echo Morgan’s sentiment about the program – Monti gave a wonderful lecture, and I feel that the students in attendance were engaged and learned a lot from him. He (and you) were also very easy to work with, which we appreciate. I would definitely recommend this program to other institutions.

It went great! Most engagement in the comments/participation we’ve had since COVID started. Our student leaders who introduced Monti told me they learned so much and were really excited after the event. Please send Monti a big thank you from our team!
