The Power of One (ePub)

Antonio Grate is a dynamic speaker, educator, minister, husband, and father of four. He currently sits on the board of Shoals CASA (court appointed special advocate), a nonprofit organization that works with volunteer advocates for children who have experienced abuse or neglect. The mission of this organization is dear to his heart because of his own personal experiences growing up in one of the most dangerous neighborhoods in Chicago, his mother's addiction to drugs, living in foster care, and other struggles and obstacles as well.

Through his own personal and dynamic story he shares strategies that will help at-risk youth, students, and adults alike to win inwardly first and then outwardly. His willingness and strong desire to pour into the lives of those who are in youth detention centers, alternative schools, the foster care system, church youth groups, and general school populations stems from his passion to serve this generation and the next with the sole mission to equip them with the tools needed to face and overcome their current obstacles while becoming the best version of themselves.

With great transparency Antonio shares a motivating, inspiring, and empowering message on how to strategically get over the hurt, disappointment, and anger that plague so many of us today. His tag line BEGRATEFUL is a message that's designed to bring about hope, healing, restoration, love, and victory in the lives of his audiences.

It is his mission to tell his story of how he has overcome insurmountable odds to now live a life of joy, peace, happiness, and love. His passionate delivery and heartfelt sincerity touches the hearts of listeners and leaves them wanting more.
