Connecting with youth and young adults can be tough. Especially those with history in the juvenile justice systems, alternative education programs or group homes. Sadly, this segment of the population has been labeled at-risk, or worse menaces to society. Samson Styles knows all about being stereotyped. Consequently, he has made it his mission to travel the U.S. sharing his powerful story.

Samson's past does not speak for his future. His former life of crime, incarceration and violence has been his spring board for change. As a TV correspondent for BET and producer of several independent films, Samson truly has overcome adversity. Now he shares his powerful, almost unbelievable story with youth and young adults across the nation. Samson motivates, inspires and empowers youth NOT to use their past or bad decisions as an excuse not to succeed. Samson's raw and edgy speaking style allows him to connect, concentrate and create a lasting impression on today's youth who believed society would not give them a second chance.
