Saladin Davis "Life 101 - Lessons From A 13 Year Old Father"
Saladin DavisSaladin Davis “Life 101 – Lessons From A 13 Year Old Father”
Saladin Davis is a professional motivator with a passion to assist the youth of America by breaking down all barriers blocking the road to their personal success. He looks to affect positive change in inner city/underprivileged communities by fueling the unrealized dreams of America’s youth. Saladin was born in Somerset, New Jersey in January 1984. He grew up with four older brothers who consequently became his paternal role models after the passing of his father in late 1990. Saladin was a talented athlete in his adolescence staring in Football and Track. When Saladin was in eighth grade his life took a drastic turn when he found out he was a father at the tender age of 13. This caused Saladin to grow up a little faster and different than most children his age. Though he was a teen father, his goals of playing college football and getting his degree never changed. In 2002 he was awarded a partial scholarship to play football at Stony Brook University where he graduated with his bachelor’s degree in Multidisciplinary Studies in 2007
While in school Saladin was consistently chosen to participate in forums and roundtable on various topics. Although these conventions were often recreational, they helped him identify his strengths as a public speaker. He had no anxiety in speaking to/with his peers. His ability to convey his point caught the eye of his athletic director who asked him to speak to a group of academically at risk athletes about the importance of turning their grades around. Academic revision was necessary to prevent them from expulsion and/or losing their athletic scholarships. Saladin became excited about the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of others and began to reflect on whether this was something he could continue in his professional future. Though he was being called on to speak to many different groups, Saladin didn’t have a thought in his mind that this was what he was put on Earth to pursue.
Soon, out of curiosity and an innate desire to continue public speaking, Saladin joined Toastmasters International in Newark N.J. Through Toastmasters He was assured that he was an excellent speaker and his story could change lives. His speeches were so warmly received that he was asked to speak at the weekly meetings for his department of 600 employees. Saladin continued to sharpen his speaking skills within the workplace while in New Jersey and in January 2010 relocated to Charlotte. Joining the local Toastmasters club in Charlotte, he was convinced that he was put on this planet to motivate others. His goal is to encourage his audience to break down personal barriers and assist in leading them towards ultimate happiness. Saladin is passionate about helping others become solution oriented to reach their goals. His journey from a teen father to a full time single parent has incited his urge to assist those who are in situations similar to his. His target demographic is youth from the adolescent stage to collegiate years (i.e. sports teams, youth groups, and at risk teens). He aspires to not only motivate through powerful and passionate speeches, but to give them specific ways to work towards solutions. Saladin’s motto and favorite quote states, “the reason most people fail is because they give up what they want most for what they want at the moment”.
Saladin was born in Sommerset, New Jersey and the youngest of five boys. He went to college on a football scholarship. He worked at New York Life and the Bank of America. He moved to Charlotte, North Carolina in January 2012. Now, he is a full time speaker and author.
During our conversation, Saladin talks about:

– How he felt graduating from college and why it was important
– His experience in the business world and what made him become an entrepreneur

– Did he ever feel like he wanted to quit writing the book?
– What did he feel like when he received the first finished copy of the book?
– The reaction to the book
– What is dream for his daughter
– What has he learned about himself while he was writing his book
