My positive philosophies influence personal development for growth, healing and restoration. I believe everyone instills the unique ability to change their reality to reflect their deepest desires of life. I am here to help millions of people to create more of what they want in their lives, starting with the mind, body and spirit. I am not afraid to speak truth. Some people are wired to think one way. And this narrow mind creates limiting beliefs and limiting results. I believe awareness opens the door for individuals to see things quite different. And this will increase the desire to take the necessary steps to live a fulfilling life. I am a passionate speaker, this is my God's given gift! I recently taken a leap of faith to follow my dreams as a professional speaker, author and business owner. I quit my finance career three months ago to live my dreams and walk in the light of my purpose! I've been speaking since I was 8yrs old. I grew up in the inner city of downtown Atlanta 4th Ward to be exact! I am the exception, I made the best of every situation brought to me, until I learned how to create the reality I wish to see. At 13 years old, I can remember my mom doing the best she can for my brothers and me before she was sent to Georgia Regionals Hospital. At this time, my grandmother took custody of my brothers and me. One of the saddest memories, I seldom mention. I managed to soar through life with ups and downs along the way. My education worked for me! It afforded me a better lifestyle for my little family. On May 5th, 2016, my niece died while she was in my care. It was tough for me calling her parents to tell them to come back to Atlanta because their 4-month-old baby girl Emily Elizabeth Orengo is fighting for her life. This experience sent me to a very dark place, and it required some time for me to heal. As God heal me, I no longer blamed myself for her death. In my healing phase God also revealed to me, my true calling and purpose. Although I was afraid, the more I sought healing and dug digger into my spirituality, God reveal to me my precious gift! I am here to EFFECT CHANGE! I have no problem taking leaps because I believe in the unseen! And I have a VISION that is coming to past! I have leaned on faith my entire life! I am starting from ground ZERO and I have no shame in my game because I am truly living my best life! I am blessed with two amazing boys Demayas and Amari, a wonderful boyfriend, family and friends supporting me in this next chapter of my life. I am now following my dreams with mere faith in the forefront of my motivational speaking career!

True Tamplin is a keynote speaker, entrepreneur, actor, and #1 Bestselling Author of Raising An Executive: Igniting Your Son's Inner Executive To Outperform His Peers and Continue Your Legacy. At age 13, True's father Ken Tamplin was offered to be the lead singer for Journey. Despite desperately needing the money, the 5-year touring contract was too great a sacrifice. He turned the offer down, and now True has checked every box an executive would want for his son: giving his grad speech, covering local newspapers, garnering a full-ride to his school of choice, maintaining Suma Cum Laude 4.0 GPA, running a successful Analytics and Online Marketing company, and writing an #1 bestselling book, all by the age of 22. True is utterly convinced that none of his early successes would have come had his father accepted the Journey contract. Now True's story has become his plea to fight for executives to spend more time with their sons. True has gone on to become a CEO coach and has created the Raising An Executive mentorship program for their sons to one day outdo their fathers.
