Travis Lloyd
Travis Lloyd is an inspirational speaker, author, trainer, and consultant with a
background as a health care professional and adjunct professor. He is known
to share stories of overcoming and inspiring others through real life stories,
poetry, and song. As a former hopeless youth who feared his lifestyle would
lead to prison, Travis began seeking to discover how to live a life of passion
and purpose.
At the age of 23, Travis found what he was seeking for and dedicated the next
seven years of his life to gaining the experience and developing the skill
necessary to help others do the same. He enjoys speaking, emceeing, and
performing for both youth and adult audiences. His past venues range from
middle and high schools to universities, juvenile justice, child welfare, and
corporate conferences.
Having experienced and overcome foster homes, homeless shelters, and a
stay in an adolescent mental health unit enables Travis to offer hope, not only
to audiences across the country, but to his own community. Travis previously
served as a Mental Health Mobile Crisis Worker, and still occasionally serves
as an Adjunct Professor and licensed emergency nurse in a pediatric hospital.
Travis is a board member of Foster Care Alumni Of America, VP of the Our
Fields Of Hope Foundation, Google Certified contributor of Social Work
Helper Magazine, and Foster Focus Magazine, co- author of Fostering Hope
For America, and author of Overcoming Emotional Trauma: Life Beyond
Survival Mode.
