OUR ABI ALL STAR ANTI-BULLYING SPEAKERS SHARE THE FOLLOWING PERFORMANCE IMPACTS IN COMMON…
ENGAGING!
ENTERTAINING!!
HEART STIRRING!!!
UNFORGETTABLE!!!!
One bit of advice from all of us at ABI (whether you use us or not!) is this…
Never hire a speaker that you have not seen in front of an audience! You can know for sure if your speaker is right for your students when you watch them on video in front of other students! Many speakers have clever websites and/or show themselves being interviewed! The experienced speakers capture footage while they are speaking in front of their audience.

During his freshman season at Wyoming, he won the 5A State Championship and earned Freshman All-American. At the end of his sophomore season, Shamiel transferred to Oklahoma State University to be closer to his family while his grandmother battled Alzheimer’s disease. In a single season, he went from being an Al-American Safety to spending the 2011 season on the sidelines due to NCAA transfer rules. h 2012, Shamiel hit the football field in full force.
