Sporting an all black outfit and nervousness, Maleek Berry broke down his journey from a toddler who enjoyed Michael Toddler to the hit-making mogul he is today. Each layer to his story detailed his experiences from his contact with music and his life on the way to stardom. Laughing in between pauses, the audience got to know Maleek Berry the person not just the artist.

To cap it off, he finished in classic motivational speaker style with a mantra: Find your truth. Short and to the point, it was an appeal to whoever was listening to chase their dreams and find themselves before it’s too late. He also made other points in this line but it was all in a day’s work for the newly minted inspirational speaker.
