In 1985 -- in the company of superstar athletes such as Jackie Joyner-Kersee, Stephanie Hightower, and Gail Devers -- Leticia Beverly stepped into the arena of Track & Field at the University of Illinois. After graduating in 1989, Leticia received her level I and II coaching certification from USA Track & Field (USATF). She then went on to coach at Art’s High School in Newark, New Jersey, and Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia. Leticia’s positive attitude and optimistic perspective on life defines the term "self confidence" -- not only in her sports as a nationally-ranked athlete, but also as a successful entrepreneur, coach, and devoted single mother raising four children.
Speaking to audiences across the country, her presentation is energetic, captivating and inspiring to youth and adults alike. Her mission is to equip audiences with the know-how to succeed and to influence their desire to say, “I believe I can.”
At the elementary school level, Leticia discovered she had a talent for running. She later joined the high school track & field team, and there began a lasting career that carried her throughout her college years. Raised by her grandparents, Leticia was introduced early on to “old school” rearing. Growing up in what many would consider an underprivileged environment, track and field became Leticia’s outlet. She had no idea where this outlet would take her. She learned the importance of a positive attitude, teamwork, top performance, and the value of competition – both on and off the track. Equipped with a yearning to do better and be better --- along with a little push from her high school coaches who wouldn’t allow her let her give up -- Leticia developed her skills to eventually earn the distinction of both High School and Collegiate All American. After qualifying for the 1988 Olympic Trials in Indianapolis, IN, a tragic fall during competition at the NCAA forced her out of competition.
It wasn’t until Leticia moved to Atlanta, Georgia in 1990 that she discovered an even greater talent. She began to speak to anyone who would listen about the value of determination and overcoming hardship. Her faith led her to the Church, where she eventually became a respected ministry team leader. Concurrently, Leticia’s professional life began to blossom. Capitalizing on her BA degree in Communications, along with her AA degree in Music Business Management, Leticia founded the Future Stars Music Conference – an annual national event dedicated to counseling and guiding upcoming artists who are endeavoring to succeed in the music and entertainment industry. Through this and other outlets, Leticia has empowered many artists throughout the southeast.
Despite her positive impact in public, Leticia’s private life indeed had its challenges. Her marriage of 7 years ended, and she took on the responsibility of raising four children as a single mother. During this faith-testing season, she refused to abandon the beliefs and principals that had sustained her.
Now juggling a career, along with the daily challenges of single parenthood, Leticia has continued to share her message of change, advancement, and excellence with others who may be experiencing life challenging circumstances. Her own personal experiences and triumphs have spearheaded her commitment to inspire people to find inner strength and resolve.
