Aliko Ade is a multi-talented, young man who has been through some of life's most challenging obstacles at a young age. While most children were learning how to read and write, Aliko was learning how to fend for himself due to the lack of love, nurturing, and guidance of his parents. Aliko found his way into the streets, where he witnessed and survived traumatic events that only made him mature faster. Group homes, institutions, and eventually the prison system gave him a new found love for knowledge, discipline, and his passion to help others. His unstable upbringing and countless hours of self-education is a blueprint for his inspirational and motivational character. Being of half-African and half-Dominican descent, he is the perfect speaker because of his ability to connect with all races, nationalities, and cultures. His authenticity and genuine interest in helping others reach their full potential is what makes him a prime candidate for all speaking events.
