Malife Nkruhmah

You Can Tell A Lot About a Person by What Others Say…The reports I received from Principals and teachers were so exciting that I invited Mr. Grimmette to attend a meeting at our central office of teacher representatives. He came, he entertained, and he enchanted us with his presentation of an original story... He becomes the Griot Malife Nkruhmah, motivational African storyteller, with the use of costume, props, his wonderful voice and his acting skills. When speaking at schools [he] asks teachers about the subject matter and incorporates that material in his motivational [presentation] . He also presents traditional stories that teach cultural values while exploring issues important to today's young people. Bill Grimmette is truly an outstanding individual who is 'teaching' in a unique style to inspire all students...."

"You were a tremendous inspiration for our students, as well as the adult staff members who were fortunate enough to see you perform... One of our goals has been to help students improve their self esteem. It is not always easy to find motivational speakers like yourself that can incorporate this message into their presentations. Please know that you influenced many of our students positively as they left the end of the day chanting 'I believe in myself; I believe in my ancestors!' Thank you."
