  • Caleb brings more than just tricks and tools to help pull you into a healthy mindset, he also brings safety, openness and empathy to the conversation. This creates an experience that will continue to bring you back to earth and center you long after the session has ended. I highly recommend you add Caleb to your mental health first aid kit.

  • Caleb is an exceptional human being. Brilliant, insightful, and trustworthy. A commanding and capable presence who manages to take up just enough space to remind you he's ready and willing to show up in whatever capacity you might need. I'm very proud to call him a friend and colleague.
    Jenina Pellegren
  • Caleb has the unique gift of being able to observe, recognize, process, and communicate the messages that need heard and the stories that need told, unlike anyone else I’ve had the honor of knowing in my life. He turns pain into power, and delivers it with conviction and grace, no matter how heavy the topic. It is one thing to be a brilliant mind and an empathetic soul, but to have the gift of pouring it into spoken word is what makes this man a truly remarkable speaker, leader, and vessel for change.
    Stephanie Hein
  • Only thing I can truly say that would describe the power in Caleb’s words is...enticing. Such strong, power, gentleness, and determination shine through. He deserves far more recognition and booking. What a light in the world.
    Cree Chancley
  • When Caleb says “I will push you, challenge you, and empower you,” he mean it. I had the pleasure of attending a speakers panel through my former employer on which Caleb presented his refreshing and powerful perspectives. I have been following Caleb’s work since that day. If you are truly open to learning and thinking about true equity, healing, and empowerment, book Caleb for your next event.

  • " he had a double- natural that wd put the sisters to shame & his beads were imported sea shells ..he was triple hip ..cool-cool is so cool he was uncooked by other n*ggas cool.. ..cool-cool so cool To be Black is very hot" Don L. Lee Caleb embodies this poem from a great poet laureate many years ago. I had the honor to watch as he engaged an audience with humor, compassion and excellence which is in itself a gift to witness. Not only is this man a good man he represents great men. He should be heard and often. Thank you.

  • Caleb is a gift that keeps on giving. I had an educator like him in grade school and they still have an impact on who I am, how I view the world, how I hold myself and love— to this day. I’m so honored to call him a friend. He truly is an exceptional human being.
    Monique
  • I’ve known Caleb for years now after an incident where he put himself on the line for others. Seeing someone do that forms a powerful trauma bond but also inspiration. An inspiration that grew as I saw how Caleb speaks of love and lives it in his life. I literally wouldn’t have sought out social work as a career if I never met him. He is a fixture in so many lives and has saved so many people with his words and actions, directly or indirectly.
    Emily
  • Caleb is genuinely a transparent man that has the good of people in his sights. On a personal and professional level he is consistently able to produce the safest space to be in. He is appreciated by his community and a force the future needs in every capacity. I am truly honored to know and be near him.
    Mitzi Robinson
  • Caleb is full of firey passion for what he does. His soul burns for justice and righteousness in a way that melts old constructs to the core. He is tuned in to those he helps and offeres his gifts to help them go farther than they have before. We're lucky to have him in our community.
    Jessica Crockett
  • I have been fortunate enough to know Caleb in a professional capacity for several years, having referred many of the young men on my caseload to his care. Over the years, I’m pleased to say that we have also become friends. So when I sat down to write this, I realized that it was much harder to distill exactly all the multitude of reasons why I respect, and am grateful, for Caleb, his services, and his friendship. - As a man of learning, Caleb has never ceased to impress me with not only his drive to continue improving himself, but his unceasing efforts to improve the lives of those he interacts with. - As a man of color, Caleb brings his personal truths and life experiences to the table. - As a man of heart, Caleb is a wellspring of emotional intelligence, empathy, and genuine decency. - And, as a man of healing, Caleb is a wonder. Honestly, all glowing testimonial aside, Caleb is one of those people that you just know is going to change the world. You’d be smart to let him into your life to help you change yours.

  • Las ponencias de Caleb son experiencias maravillosas en todos los sentidos. Caleb tiene un increible talento para comunicar de forma clara, convincente, y emocionante. Él no se limita a demuestrar su profesionalismo con información actualizada y relevante, sino que también logra involucrar a la audiencia de una forma única, haciendo sentir a su auditorio una profunda cercanía con los temas que expone. Lo más impactante de verlo en acción, además de la calidad de su trabajo, fue el compromiso con el que se conduce y la forma en que contagia su sentido de comunidad y solidaridad, especialmente en temas de justicia social, derechos humanos, y equidad. Caleb es un profesional y un ponente extraordinario, y un ser humano comprometido con su trabajo y su comunidad, lo recomiendo ampliamente.

  • After meeting Caleb at the Black Europe Summer School in 2019, my initial impression was that he is a passionate, knowledgeable speaker with a very calming energy. After getting to know him, this proved to be more than true. He is a vulnerable, funny, energetic, charismatic, and engaging individual.

  • Caleb is love manifested. I don't have enough words to express how he has mastered the art of being present. He has sat with me in my most intimate, painful, and vulnerable spaces. He has been there during times in my life when I felt strong, as well as when I was totally spent. He has educated me out of ignorance, and revealed to me the wealth manifested in authentic Black love. Caleb is that friend who is deeply committed, intentional, transparent, gentle, and a true warrior. He is my gift.

  • Caleb did a phenomenal job talking to our team and discussing things that can sometimes be hard for a young man to open up about. Would love to have him back anytime!
    Jeff
  • Caleb came out to Highland Community College on 10/16/2020 and met with the Football Leadership Team and later the football team. He was absolutely amazing. The players and coaching were able to learn so much about themselves and work on strategies to cope with anger, depression and frustration. Furthermore, he followed up by coming back on 10/17/2020 to watch and coach up some the players. What an awesome experience!!! Caleb is absolutely amazing!!!
    Enoch Smith
  • Caleb spoke with our football team and had a profound impact. Not only did Caleb help us have a difficult conversation as a team, he also gave us tools to use for our players once his speaking engagement was over. Caleb does more than just speak, he moves people to act. He is a master at asking tough questions and soliciting participation without the participants even noticing. I highly recommend hiring Caleb to help your organization improve its relationships and leadership. To boot, nothing about his skills or procedures make you feel like he is just collecting a check. The sincerity and genuine nature of his work is elite.
