I’ve seen you a rare occasionsat the APCA national conference where you did a youth leadership talk and I seen you two times at the induction ceremony for the J.A.G. (Jobs After Graduation) students of South Bend community school corporation. All threetimes I was amazed how you mixed the comedy and magic to educatethe students about issues and obstacles they are oftenor are stillfacing. How did you come up with this way of speaking?
Anti Bully and Character education speaker Jamahl Keyes: I first started speaking in thelate 80’s early 90’s over theJust Say NO to drugs era. My mentor and friend Ms. Gwen Stines gave me the suggestion to mix magic effects and comedy with stories to keep the attention and educate the students. When I did it a few times I realized thatthe students and teachers that came to the shows retained the information much easier due to the wayI presented the content.
