Inspiration on campus.


Helping students develop love and respect for their diverse world. 

The love we withhold from others represents the pain we carry in our lives. 

Inspiration on campus.


Helping students love and respect a diverse world.

Dr. Paul Wichansky, Motivational Speaker on Disability and Leadership

Diversity helps us learn to respect and accept others who are different from us.


Respecting diversity begins at home.  On a university campus, we have the same zip code with those who embrace a different culture, heritage, LGBTQ, or those with a physical or intellectual disability. 


Why do we need to be strangers when we are neighbors attending the same university?


I host university programs and keynotes to help students create and sustain a world of kindness, compassion, and respect for everyone's life as students start to lay a foundation for their professional career.


Daily interactions with a diverse population promotes upward social mobility and leadership in the real world.
