Speak to Students begins by meeting students where they are, bridging their classroom experiences with the broader world. With examples to connect their curriculum beyond the classroom with topics relevant to your students today and prepares them for their future.



Differences are different

Commonality binds us together, while our differences enrich our experiences. Let’s celebrate both. It’s not about being right or wrong—it’s about embracing the beautiful mosaic of humanity.

At Speak to Students, we believe that meaningful interaction is the cornerstone of effective education. By actively involving students in conversation, we not only validate their voices, but also foster a sense of ownership and engagement. The goal is to create conversations that will continue along their learning journey.

Flexible to Bring a World of Experience to Your Students

Working with Teaches and Schools to Meet the Needs of Your Students, 
Your Schedule and, of course, Your Budget

Not all schools have the same school calendar, schedule, or priorities. Not all schools have the same budget either. Teachers within a school have their own schedules and priorities too. Just as students and teachers face challenges, so too do schools face many challenges.  I can help. I want to make bringing the experience of Speak to Students to your students as convenient, easy, and affordable as possible. Together we can do more for our students and communities.

Speak to Students LIVE in Your School

Together We Can Do More!

The past few years have posed significant challenges for students, teachers, schools, and communities. While our students are not the first generation to encounter social unrest, change, bullying, school violence, and political polarization, the constant barrage of social media can be overwhelming.

Despite the perception that we are more divided than ever, we are also more interconnected. Our students represent a diverse group, yet they share many commonalities.

In these tumultuous times, we often emphasize differences when we should be focusing on similarities. Through conversation, we discover our shared experiences.

As an external voice, I hold a unique position to assist schools in engaging their students in discussions about diversity, inclusion, tolerance, and respect, all in pursuit of promoting peace. My role is not to dictate what students should think, but rather to encourage critical thinking and action in response to the challenges they encounter.

Just as my live in-school presentations leave a lasting impact, my online platform, Speak to Students, continues to resonate beyond the initial interaction. I’m Byron, and I’m passionate about speaking to students. I’d be thrilled to engage with your students as well. 🗣️📚
