Calling All Greeks to the Floor!
A member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., Tish brings a powerful and influential new voice to the fraternity and sorority educational market. She motivates Greeks of all types, sizes and traditions to enhance the quality of student life on and off their campus—contributing to the educational and personal development of their fellow students, and making a real difference in their campus communities. Tish promotes diversity and unity by calling on Greek-letter organizations to recognize and embrace differences. In her keynote, Tish encourages fraternity and sorority leaders to choose their role models wisely and to become role models for the men and women who follow behind them.
History, Herstory, YOUR Story…
In her general motivational keynote for all college audiences, Tish talks about using honor, tradition and pride to promote one’s personal dignity and self-respect. She challenges students to believe that it is possible to become so much more than what they’re told defines their generation, and they can be so much more than what they see in the news, on television or in advertisements. With practical tips for personal success, Tish motivates students to try harder, aim higher and create a better reality.
Girls, Let’s Talk!
“I am so passionate about inspiring young women to maximize their full potential. Girls, Let’s Talk is about beauty, fashion, style, building individual’s self-esteem and confidence, and unleashing their personal leadership.”
This energetic presentation reaches college women on a very meaningful, personal level. Girls, Let’s Talk is a fun, interactive keynote in which Tish helps college women develop positive values, a strong self-image, interpersonal relationships and to embrace their community, family and school. This celebration of femininity embodies music, humor and thoughtful conversation. Quiet simply, Tish shows women how to believe in themselves and to be accountable for their own goals and dreams.
The four cornerstones that Tish focuses on include academics and becoming an “intelligent socialite;” the rules, trends and expectations of dating; taking pride in oneself and one’s school; and how to demand respect, love oneself and create lasting relationships.
