An amazing journalist, TJ Holmes talks about being on CNN, his life, his loves and being a Black reporter in the age of Obama

Members of an audience react to hearing David Anderson (Formerly Tazz Daddy)  give a speech to a standing room only crowd in NYC!

Check out this testimonial:

I first met David when Citizens Bank invited him to speak during a press conference to launch their 2011 Gear for Grades, a school supplies collection initiative.  Although only newly introduced to Cradles to Crayons, an organization which provides basic essentials to low-income and homeless children aged 0-12 in the Greater Philadelphia region, David crafted and delivered a powerful and very impactful speech. Using his teacher mother to illustrate the desperate need and the importance of a continuous and reliable provision of school supplies, David helped the audience realize the significant difference that a fully equipped backpack will make to a child; providing confidence, school readiness, and not forgetting, the belief that someone cares.  

After hearing this speech I invited David to speak at our Un-Gala, our signature benefit event held on December 3, 2011. Once again David hit the ball out of the park with another short, well-crafted and witty speech. He raised the energy level in the tent while outlining the importance of Cradles to Crayons’ work. He emphasized how the group attending the Un-Gala had made a positive and lasting impact in the lives of vulnerable children by providing them with a better equipped future.

I would not hesitate to invite David to speak at our events in the future. He is a professional and powerful speaker with the ability to readily engage, amuse and educate diverse audiences.
