We Speak On was founded in 2023 in Baltimore Maryland. Upset with social inequities that prevented urban high schoolers from experiencing speech and debate activities, one student created an online speech tournament open to the world.

The power of public speaking lies not in words alone, but in the choice to empower those who cannot speak for themselves.

A speaker at heart..

I have always been dedicated to speaking out against human atrocities, especially child labor. Through Rotary tournaments and speech and debate events, I’ve found public speaking to be a powerful tool for inspiring change personally and globally.
