Every Student Deserves An Opportunity To Succeed

K.D. has been a long time advocate, friend and premier speaker/educator in the academic access program world. He is familiar with all opportunity programs, specifically Student Support Services, Upward Bound, Talent Search, EOF, EOP, Gear Up and the McNair Programs.

If you’re ready to take your program to the next level, contact K.D. and learn how he can help your students. 

K.D. knows what it’s like to start from scratch, be the first, and figure it out while boldly stepping into the unknown. He grew up in a dysfunctional home, experienced fatherlessness, struggled financially, underperformed academically, and was told that he couldn’t succeed.

But, he learned to turn life’s adversity into his advantage by changing how he viewed life’s challenges. He went on to graduate with honors at NC A&T State, and Duke University! K.D. became a published author, writing his first book on how students and people can overcome their fears! Lastly, he served his community as a police officer for 8 yrs, and knows firsthand what happens to students that don’t live up to their full potential. He often conducts workshops on social justice matters and how students can use their education and voice to make changes in the world! 

That’s why academic access programs matter so much to him. Programs that provide hope, exposure, and support are dear to his heart. K.D. always delivers H.O.T. topic presentations. H.O.T. meaning, Honest-Open-Transparent. He shows scholars how he did what he did, how they can do more, and why they must succeed.

Your scholars are one of a kind. Let K.D. support your efforts to help them realize and live out that truth.

"To my TRIO world: Please, if you are looking for a dynamic speaker, someone to inspire your students, get them on fire... get Mr. K.D."
  • Tailor the Experience Your Students Need
Take it from us, college is about so much more than student reinvention. College is about the exploration of one’s often hidden ability, potential, and purpose. In this dynamic and crowd engaging session, K.D. goes through some of the Do’s and major Don’ts he wished he would have known after high school, during his first year in college, and more!
