Need a Speaker?

Bigger Than Hip-Hop, Education, Felicia's News, Hip-Hop

Fall is right around the corner and many schools and organizations will begin planning for Spring events. If you're in need of a speaker, consider...me.

I know, blatant self-promo. But I wouldn't suggest myself if I didn't believe in the programming I provide.

Check it:

I develop and provide innovative, engaging, and educational programming for both youth and adult audiences. I facilitate writing, publishing, and creative workshops, seminars, discussions, and lectures for schools (elementary, middle, and high school), after school initiatives, summer camps, universities, organizations and other entities. Programming is designed and customized based on specific needs and preferences.

Some of the Places I've Been Include:

100 Black Men of Maryland (Baltimore Chapter) Saturday School

Atlantic City Free Public Library

Baltimore Book Festival

Baltimore County Community College

Baltimore County PTA Conference

Bennett College

What Some Have Said:

"I definitely enjoyed your presentation and the work you are doing." - Dr. Walter Kimbrough, President, Philander Smith College

I really enjoyed your presentation. I cannot express my gratitude for your words and inspiration that evening. I hope to be able to bring you back to campus." - Melissa Smith, Community Living Coordinator, Goucher College

"Felicia, I want to thank you again for a wonderful job that you did with the children. It was great and they have been all abuzz since." - Dr. Gary Rodwell, Faculty, Morgan State University, Community College Leadership Doctoral Program

"Felicia Pride not only wrote The Message, she has a message. She understands young people and enriches their understanding of Hip-Hop culture. She helps them appreciate the history and poetry of Hip-Hop. My students still ask me, "When is Felicia Pride coming back to our school?" She engages the audience and with her comforting demeanor invites everyone into her living room during her presentation." - Charles E. Wilson, Jr., Principal, Viking Academy Alternative High School, Atlantic City, NJ

"The halls were filled with kids talking about your visit; students who I don't even teach were talking about it! I can honestly say, hands down, today was one of my proudest moments in teaching. To see how engaged they were in what you had to say made every effort up to this point worth it. You have not only had an impact on my teaching, but have created a memory that these students will never forget."- Lauren Jensen, English Teacher, Robert E. Lee High School

"We were so thrilled about your visit. The boys were talking about you the next day and were so proud to have been a part of the event." - Nancy Kliot, Books for Boys
