About Tracy
Hi, I’m Tracy. Most folks call me TraSpeaks.
For more than 18 years, I’ve worked across HR, culture and talent, higher education, and community programs. In every one of those rooms, I’ve seen what happens when people get to tell their story.
They show up differently.
I’m an author, speaker, and oral storyteller. I’ve published poetry, affirmations, and three volumes of the More Than a Single Story™ anthology. I hold an M.Ed. in Higher Education Administration, and I’m working on my Doctor of Education with a focus on social justice.
At the heart of my work is The Story Equation™: Your Core + Your Mission = Your Story. Your core is your lived experience, the good, the hard, and everything in between. Your mission is how you put it to work. Put them together, and that’s your story, the legacy you leave for whoever comes next.
Whether I’m in a boardroom, a fellowship hall, or a room full of first-time authors, my purpose stays the same: to teach, reach, and achieve.
