Mr. Valentine is an excellent addition to our program! He took the time to send preparation material that motivated the students and made them look forward to his visit, all while working with the needs of our school. He took the time after the assembly to meet with students in small groups. They loved every minute of this! He truly helped them self reflect and motivated each student to think about their actions and feelings. This is where he excelled and the most valuable part of his visit! Anthony seemed nervous at first, but was able to shift gears and engage our students well. He was well received and our students are already asking when he will return!

About Valentine Inspires
Valentine is a premier youth motivational speaker on a mission to inspire students to recognize the profound impact of their stories. As educators sow seeds of courage, confidence, and unity, Valentine steps in as a gardener, nurturing positive messaging. Sharing his own story, lessons, and mistakes, he emphasizes, "I'm not here for my accomplishments but my mistakes, spawning lessons that guide, correct, and encourage each of you." Counted out one too many times, Valentine's resilient message draws from his experiences as an inner-city EMT and media professional, creating an engaging, heartfelt, and relatable student experience. His authentic speaking unveils personal obstacles, from a fatherless upbringing to overcoming anxiety, with the purpose of healing through shared understanding. Valentine not only offers himself as a vessel but, more significantly, as a living example. He believes in the transformative power of education and understanding, recognizing that the true strength of our stories lies in these principles.
Reviews
Anthony captures the audience with his charismatic yet humble personality. He has the ability to connect with students in very real and profound way. Anthony is creative in his delivery and always keeps his audience guessing as to what he will do or say next. He makes it fun and interactive for the students. His heartfelt overall message is both clearly received and memorable. It is evident that his life and career experiences have given him the tools needed to be the outstanding motivational speaker that he is. We at West Orange Middle Schools were delighted and grateful to have Anthony visit us. Thank you Anthony!
Anthony responded to the call and went above and beyond to provide an insightful, engaging and powerful presentation to a group of executive women. I cannot thank him enough!
Mr. Valentine was amazing. He immediately connected with a group of 13 year old football players and had their ears (and their hearts) for about 40 minutes. The next day the boys won their first game of the season but more importantly played together like I have never seen in the past 5-6 years. I highly recommend Anthony Valentine.
Anthony was great -- very responsive and professional. The students enjoyed his performance, and he had a great message!
Anthony has done a phenomenal job in doing his services, especially for small groups of people! He has really touched the hearts of my students with his words of wisdom and activities, which made them want more. Aside from that, he has a “feel good” vibe that isn’t easily found. I HIGHLY recommend him for your event(s), as he won’t disappoint.
This is the second time that Anthony has come to our school to speak to our students, who were beyond excited to have him return. He has such an empowering message of following your dream and being the best version of you. He connects well with our students, makes them feel valued and has relevant material to share with them. He motivates, he is innovative, and extremely professional. We hope to have him back again in the future.
Anthony was extremely professional in the way that he presented his program to our students. Our students were engaged from the moment that he walked out on stage until the moment that he left our school. He left our students wanting so much more. Long after he has left our school the students are still talking about his presentation and the faculty is asking about his return. If you are looking for a powerful speaker who has the skills to keep your event on track then he is your person. Thank you, Anthony!!
The Garfield Middle School (Revere, MA) was fortunate to bring in Anthony to speak with our students this past week. His message was relatable, uplifting, and inspiring to our kids. We look forward to continuing our relationship with him and Kulture magazine. I highly recommend Anthony.
Anthony was professional and extremely prepared. He met us months before and worked with us to get to know our demographic to meet our school's needs. He was extremely well received by our students and staff members. He really relates to high school students and we received such positive feedback from staff and students alike. HIGHLY recommend!
