SPEAKING
Are you looking for a power-packed speaker that will captivate your attendees? Do you want relatable, vulnerable inspiration and empowering, practical action steps that will lead your attendees to break destructive cycles? You've come to the right place.
When you bring Ignite U1 to your school, organization, company, or conference, you don’t get a same-old, same-old cookie-cutter (yawn) over-rehearsed speech. We take the time to get to know you, and then we customize our message to meet your desired outcomes. We want to know your organization, and your attendees, so that our message resonates long after we have left the building. Our goal is to ignite lasting transformation.
Katie is our primary featured speaker. She is masterful in delivering "real talk" with humor, energy, and an authenticity that will let your attendees know beyond any doubt they have been in the presence of someone who "gets it", who "gets them", and whose power to overcome extreme adversity is attainable.

No one would ever wish to have their name known for the reasons Katie has had media exposure. But even as some with the power of production twist reality to satisfy ratings, Katie honestly unpacks her life to your attendees as an open book they will want to keep reading. Your audience will know they are listening to someone who has walked their road and cried their silent tears. They will be inspired to make the decision, like Katie did, to be the one who changes their family for generations to come.

What People Are Saying
- Zoey SchwolertDirector of Marketing & Outreach
Roots Renewal Ranch | TXThank you, thank you, thank you!!! The girls were truly moved by you all. The ability to relate and get through to even our toughest clients. It was incredible to see the girls' faces as Katie talked. They felt seen, and it was so special. The vulnerability of Katie, and the Q&A at the end. It was great to see how many questions and comments our girls had. They were so invested. You all give the clients a space to be vulnerable, be seen, and have hope for a brighter future. I am honored to have witnessed such a powerful night and so excited for the lives we can make a difference in, TOGETHER. - Noble CrawfordCo-Founder | Hope Farm | TXIgnite U1 is no stranger to encouraging those who need a fresh perspective. Katie's story is not a black or white story, nor a male or female story. It's a human story.
The tools of sports concepts and testimonials that Ignite U1 uses to ignite you to go to the next level are very effective particularly because sports and recreational activities are a universal language that provides entree into the lives of those who have experienced trauma or who live on the margins of life. It's a setup to introduce Truth into their lives and no one does that better than Ignite U1. - Tonya Miller, EdSCounselor, TCSS Academy | ALThis organization would be very beneficial to any type of alternative school setting. The population of students we serve are those who have mental health diagnoses and/or have made poor choices that resulted in disciplinary action. A large majority of our students have experienced extensive trauma in their lives, much like Katie. Katie's story resonated with both our students and faculty. Sharing her story of overcoming obstacles and never giving up hope gave our students motivation to overcome their own obstacles and trauma. The experiences, strategies, and level of understanding these ladies bring to the table is unmatched.
You can help ignite hope.
