Lezah Development Group is proud to present our college tour, “Elevate – 2014” with two of Atlanta’s most dynamic and diverse motivational speakers. They will captivate the audiences’ mind and emotions as they share stories of overcoming adversities of life and rising to new levels of personal and professional success.
Richard E. Williams (aka Rajheem); born 13th of 14 children in a humble, underprivileged family from the small community of Garysburg, North Carolina. While Richard’s mother possessed an eighth grade education, his father would be considered illiterate. They pushed their children to rise above their position in life, seeking education and opportunities. Formally educated through the North Carolina Public Schools and encouraged by his parents Richard received a Bachelor’s Degree in behavioral Science and Criminal Justice from Shaw University in Raleigh, North Carolina. Overcoming a brush with death as a child as well as the opposition of being a young black man from an underprivileged environment he maintains a “Can-Do” attitude about life’s possibilities. Armed with that attitude and an undeniable charisma, drive, and casual entertainment style he has dined and interviewed some of the world’s greatest celebrities, dignitaries and businessmen and women. Today he’s dedicated to sharing, inspiring and empowering the lives’ of others by bringing his powerful message to college students around the country.
Touring with Richard for 2014 is author and motivational speaker, Samuel P. Holloway III. Samuel has endured a life of mental, emotional, physical, and sexual abuse from those whom he loved respected and trusted. Surviving the torments of his mother, father, brother, and many in the public housing projects of Gary, Indiana where he grew up Samuel developed a warped sense of cognitive skills and survival techniques through a lifetime of beatings and sexual exploitation's. Having united in a same sex marriage, thinking he had found the perfect soul mate, yet reality uncovered that he was once again living a nightmare with no ability to escape, trading one hell for another. His spouse dragged him through the horror of infidelity, abuse, theft, house fire and employment sabotage destroying his professional reputation leading to him being pistol whipped, beaten and left for dead. Following an endless stream of surgeries and years of rehabilitation Samuel has taken control of his life and his own destiny, enrolling in college and authored the incredible autobiography, “Eyes Without a Face.”
The workshop finally is delivered as Richard uses his charismatic interviewing techniques to engage Samuel and the audience on an interactive journey through the obstacles of life, helping to empower and elevate the lives of others.
