Speaking and training is a multi-billion dollar industry. More and more schools, companies and organizations are seeking and paying qualified speakers big dollars to come in and solve problems and add value through speaking and training their organizations using the speaker’s expertise, experience and knowledge.
The challenge is there are many qualified African Americans with expertise, experience and knowledge who want to start a speaking business, but don’t know how to get started or how to expand their speaking and training careers to do it full-time.
Dr. Chike Akua, founder of SuccessQuest Speakers Bootcamp Online, is changing that. He is an award-winning educator, author, trainer and speaker who has had more than 1,000 speaking engagements. His speaking and training services have been requested at urban schools, colleges and universities, educational conferences, churches, organizations and businesses around the world.

Over 25 years ago, as a first-year middle school language arts teacher, Dr. Akua had a passion for reaching Black students and teaching them about their history and culture. He learned very quickly, however, that many schools and school systems were not as committed to culturally responsive teaching and materials as he was. So he began speaking and writing about it.
Fast-forward twenty-five years, Dr. Akua is an internationally recognized speaker and author of 10 books in high demand.
“It wasn’t an easy road learning the speaking business, there was a lot of trial and error, but over time I learned how the speaking business works and developed a successful system,” Dr. Akua says.
