Lectures By Mark Mathabane
All
of us at Mathabane Books & Lectures look forward to working with you to
arrange for Mark's visit to your campus to give a lecture or commencement
address. When you contact us at lectures@mathabane.com
or call Diana West at 704-698-2868 or Linah Mathabane at
503-432-8489, we can discuss
all the details and logistics involved. If you plan to open the lecture to
the public, we can provide you with publicity materials to ensure you get a
good turnout.
After coming of age in one of South Africa's toughest ghettoes, Mark has risen through sheer determination and hard work to become one of America's most dynamic motivational speakers. We are always overwhelmed and gratified by all the positive feedback we hear from clients after he's spoken at their schools.
Mark's lectures have inspired and empowered thousands across the country in middle schools, high schools, colleges, universities, businesses and government. His message to students is clear: "If you stay focused, work hard, believe in yourself, and never take gifts such as books, libraries and caring teachers for granted, you can go as far as you want to in life -- you can reach the pinnacle."
Mark was nominated Speaker of the Year by NACA (National Association of Campus Activities), and he's appeared on dozens of talk-shows, including Oprah, Larry King, NPR, Today Show, CNN and Charlie Rose. His many articles on human rights, education and race have appeared in such publications as The New York Times, the Washington Post and USA Today.
Mark preaches what he practices and has lived. He believes that recognizing and affirming our common humanity is key to survival and achieving peace, and that education and knowledge are key to overcoming adversity, unleashing one's potential and achieving success in life.
