 Hasan Davis is founder of Empowerment Solutions and is the Vice Chair of the Federal Juvenile Justice Advisory Committee. He is an educator, youth advocate, and performer. Diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder and as Learning Disabled at an early age, arrested at 11 and expelled from alternative school at 18, Hasan earned his G.E.D. from the state of Georgia Department of Education. He went on to receive his B.A. from Berea College (after being expelled twice) and later earned a law degree from the University of Kentucky. He grew up in Atlanta, Georgia and was seemingly on the same road taken by five cousins; all who would die young and violently, and two of his brothers, one now serving 25 years to life for murder and another serving a 57-year prison sentence. Hasan uses his experience to create an instant rapport with youth and adults alike. His speaking style is riveting, honest, heartfelt and endearing. He places much emphasis on the fact that there were those who did not give up on him, believed in him, and reached out to him. To the many children who don't have a strong mother or parental figure in their life, Mr.Davis hopes the youth will reach out...and that an adult will be there to answer the call! www.hasandavis.com.
