Praise From Organizations
“Throughout the presentation, Alvin was highly engaging. His use of photos, his own stories, and relevant examples kept the audience’s attention. Alvin’s presentation style was interactive and he effectively used humor to make himself and the topic relatable. It was clear from feedback from our team that staff walked away inspired, energized, and equipped with lessons learned and important definitions and concepts.” - BELL (Building Educated Leaders for Life)
“We appreciated the probing questions Alvin asked during his presentation, which resulted in a keynote address that demonstrated an understanding of the audience, our organization, and the key themes: education and equity. Our convening surveys affirmed that he inspired many with his personal story and commitment to youth, examples of cultural competency in the classroom and other settings, and just the right amount of humor.” - YMCA of America
