“He is one of the best speakers I’ve ever encountered. Mr. Crim pulls from his own experiences and presents his stories and insights in a way that is not only professional but relatable and real. His down-to- earth demeanor allows students to easily connect to him and his stories. He is truly an incredible role model for all who have the opportunity to hear him speak.”

“Mr. Crim’s talk with our youth group was phenomenal! He gave us a plethora of information, statistics and personal life accounts that kept our students engaged. His ability to cover a vast array of details while still staying true to the main topic was seamless. Ernest’s conversation was relevant, and I believe will bridge the gap among individuals of various ages and ethnicities. He is welcome to come back and share with us anytime.”

“Ernest is a knowledgeable educator and advisor. It has been a pleasure working with him. The wisdom that he imparted on nearly 200 high school students and a group staff who were in attendance was undeniably impactful. He spoke from his heart and shared his lived experience whereas he showed vulnerability, humility, and authenticity. In this same space, I witnessed his commitment to creating a learning environment where transformative thinking was encouraged and advocacy for justice was taught.”

“When he speaks to a crowd, he commands their attention with an astute and passionate oratorical style that relates to their unique experiences. For instance, at a MLK Unity Brunch that I keynoted, Mr. Crim served as the emcee and host. He did such an exemplary job that, not only did he receive a standing ovation for several minutes, but several attendees also felt compelled to reach out to me to inquire about his information for future speaking engagements.”
