From Locker Room to Leadership: Why Youth Programs Matter
Far too often, young people are told “look up to someone who’s made it” instead…
From the NFL field to global stages, Shaquem Griffin inspires individuals and organizations to lead with purpose, adapt with resilience, and believe in their power to impact the world.
“If you wanna go fast, go alone. If you wanna go far, go together.”
I’m Shaquem Griffin, former NFL athlete, motivational speaker, disability advocate, and co-founder of the Y.O.U. Brand. My mission is to help people break barriers, own their story, and turn adversity into purpose. Whether I’m on stage, building adaptive products, or working with youths, I lead with one belief: it’s only impossible until you do it.

From the NFL to national stages, I deliver real impact through storytelling, innovation, and purpose-driven collaborations.
Every person, team, or brand I work with brings a unique story. My approach blends lived experience, strategic thinking, and purpose-driven action, all rooted in the Y.O.U. philosophy: You, Others, Us.
I begin by understanding your goals, challenges, and who you're trying to uplift.
I use lived stories and adaptive insight to deliver meaningful, lasting impact on stage.
Collaboration is key, we build strategies, products, or platforms with shared intention.
I empower others to lead by mentoring, partnering, & fueling community-forward growth.
From Fortune 500 companies and universities to youth programs and national conferences, I’ve built lasting relationships through authentic storytelling and purpose-driven impact. When people work with me, they don’t just walk away inspired — they walk away changed. That’s why so many choose to bring me back, again and again.
