NC A&T and UNCG are proud co-presenters of the MLK Celebration. Following our custom of alternating venues, this year’s program will be held at North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University’s Harrison Auditorium on the campus of A&T.
Natalie is a activist, advocacy educator, youth engagement expert, producer and TED Talk speaker. This year’s keynote address theme for the program will be Reflect to Envision: 2020.
Natalie has mobilized youth through innovative nationwide programs and campaigns and her work has been featured on CNN, NPR and The Oprah Winfrey Show. She was also asked to produce documentary pieces on women who had survived the Rwandan Genocide during which she lived in Rwanda. Upon returning back to the United States from Rwanda, Natalie began working for TaskForce, an independent agency that served as the creative force alongside Shepard Fairey to create the 2008 Obama HOPE Campaign.
To this day, Natalie has spoken to more than 75,000 people worldwide in 500 different engagements and delivered three TEDx talks about her journey from teenager to global activist. She has worked for prestigious universities, Fortune 500 businesses, non-profits, government organizations, and hundreds of educational institutions ranging from grammar school to high school.
