Travis Lloyd is a motivational speaker, author, trainer, and consultant with a background as a health care professional and adjunct professor. He is known to share stories of overcoming and inspiring others through real life stories, poetry, and song. As a former hopeless youth who feared his lifestyle would lead to prison, Travis began seeking to discover how to live a life of passion and purpose. At the age of 23, Travis found what he was seeking for and dedicated the next seven years of his life to gaining the experience and developing the skill necessary to help others do the same. He enjoys speaking, emceeing, and performing for both youth and adult audiences. His past venues range from middle and high schools to universities, juvenile justice, child welfare, and corporate conferences. Having experienced and overcome foster homes, homeless shelters, and a stay in an adolescent mental health unit enables Travis to offer hope, not only to audiences across the country, but to his own community. Travis previously served as a Mental Health Mobile Crisis Worker, and still occasionally serves as an Adjunct Professor and licensed emergency nurse in a pediatric hospital. Travis is a board member of Foster Care Alumni Of America, VP of the Our Fields Of Hope Foundation, Google Certified contributor of Social Work Helper Magazine, and Foster Focus Magazine, co-author of Fostering Hope For America, and author of Overcoming Emotional Trauma: Life Beyond Survival Mode.
