HOW IT LANDS

![Danielle Randall]()
"Adam carries his truth with clarity and humility. When someone speaks from that place, you don’t walk away wondering if what you heard had value or purpose - you feel it. And our students felt it deeply."
"Adam spoke to our students with a kind of truth that doesn’t just land in the mind - it settles into the body. The way he wove his story, his honesty, and his lived experience created a room full of young people who were fully present, listening not just with their ears but with their whole selves.
His impact will stay with them, and with us, long after the day is over.”
