Keynote Presentations
Hasan will work with you to develop a keynote presentation to fit the needs of your conference or event. The following describes a recent presentation:
Away from No Way: A Transformational Journey from J.D. to J.D.
Hasan Davis shares his journey through the education, justice and social service systems. Systems that more often than not failed to provide him the support he needed to be successful. Luckily on his journey, there were within each system outliers and resisters, whom Hasan affectionately calls “hope dealers”, who found a way to engage, encourage and empower him. With their support he was able to transcend his mounting list of “failures” and become a champion for youth. Hasan believes that each person in the community has the opportunity, and the responsibility, to influence and change the way youth encounter the education, justice and social service systems. Hasan will share the simple strategies his personal champions employed to help him make the JD shuffle from Hasan Davis Juvenile Delinquent to Hasan Davis Juris Doctor. See Hasan's full keynote presentation and his workshop titled "Telling Your Story with Hasan Davis" at the Vermont Youth Summit in May 2020.
