On November 10, 2015, the
Office of Diversity & Inclusion hosted
“Monti Washington: From the Streets to the Stage” from 6:00 – 8:00
PM in the Thompson Student Center Ballrooms. This engaging presentation
featured the work of Monti Washington, an actor, author, and motivational
speaker. Monti Washington told his story of being a product of a one night
stand, abused in foster home after foster home, and raised sleeping in parks. He
used his challenges
to help students gain problem solving skills and provided
tips on how to live a more positive life. Student were challenged to delete
negative people from their contacts, complement each other, and speak to the
crowd about their accomplishments. This event concluded with a Q&A session
with Monti. Monti Washington may be followed on Twitter, Snapchat and Instagram
@TRU_Motivation, or his Facebook page “Montivation”. For more information about
this event, you may contact the Office of Diversity & Inclusion at diversity@tarleton.edu.
" We don't look like our story. They say
don't judge a book by it's cover."
