Speaking & Keynotes

Where Identity, Strategy, and Storytelling Drive Real Impact

Michael Boulware Moore’s expertise in identity isn’t just academic; it’s ancestral.

As the great-great-grandson of Robert Smalls - the enslaved man who commandeered a Confederate ship to win his freedom and became a U.S. Congressman - Michael understands the power of identity transformation at a visceral level.


He combines this heritage with decades of C-suite experience running brands like Coca-Cola and building the International African American Museum.


The Result: Keynotes that are equal parts strategic masterclass and emotional journey. Michael teaches leaders how to harness the power of identity to drive revenue, culture, and movements.
