* HIGHLIGHTS<\/span> <\/strong>– In 1997 (age 25) Frank went from drafting remarks for his Congressman to less than two decades later speaking at some of the largest venues in the world. To date he has spoken to millions via television, radio and news outlets. On New Years Eve 2016, Frank shared the stage with Vice President of Uganda and spoke to an estimated 118,000 @ iconic Nelson Mandela National Soccer Stadium<\/em><\/strong> in Africa. He was invited back second year in a row (2017) to speak at Mandela Stadium and over 140,000 were in attendance and the President of Uganda ordered the event be aired to 36 Million<\/em> homes. He \u00a0returned for the third year in a row to address the same crowd in Africa and folks love his message! It is rare when someone has the honor to literally speak into a nation and more of those doors have opened. Frank has motivated world class athletes to powerful politicians and addressed multiple United States Presidents. He spoke at 2012<\/strong> & 2016 Summer Olympics<\/strong> outreach in London, England & Rio de Janerio, Brazil, respectively and invited to 2020 Summer Games Olympics outreach<\/strong> in Tokyo, Japan. He has been asked to attend meetings and speak with NBA, NF<\/strong>L, MLB, Boxing & WWE Hall of Fame<\/strong> athletes and currently collaborating on projects coast to coast with civic leaders, government officials and Hollywood stars. Frank has been invited twice to speak at a faith based advisory panel held in the\u00a0United Nations<\/strong> in NYC and recently received an award from an Ambassador in 2019 for bringing both secular and spiritual leaders together on a faith global initiative. In 2018, Frank flew to Kota, India and was keynote speaker at a college graduation and they bestowed on him an honorary doctorate but he believes success is not just obtaining a degree but the degree in which you live with class, character and cognizant of others feelings more than self. Recently, he appeared in a movie called, “Love Conquers All<\/strong>” and he was the only white character in the entire cast and production of the African American film. We believe firsthand in the university of DIVERSITY! Frank also serves on a national task force to help bring awareness and combat human sex trafficking<\/strong>. At 47, Frank Shelton, Jr. has spoken at school houses, church houses, civic houses to The White House but looks forward to impacting YOUR community.<\/p>\n<\/div>
