Growing up, I never had someone like me come to my school to speak words of encouragement or provide guidance. Students who weren’t athletes or top achievers were often overlooked, and I often felt like just a number. Coming from a low-income household in a small town, I struggled with confidence, lacked resources, and at times, felt hopeless. I always wished someone would offer us practical life advice beyond just focusing on grades.

After years of not receiving that kind of support, I decided to become that person for the next generation. I speak and write to inspire and transform minds, letting every young person know that their current situation is not their final destination. The power to create change lies within them.

Let me speak for free,

I just want to put a book in their hand in return.

Sincerely,

Tim Boatwright-Johnson
