My name is Yoshiyahu, everyone calls me Yoshi — I am a mentor, public speaker, and music artist who has walked through hardship and transformed pain into purpose. I know what it feels like to be lost, overlooked, and hopeless. But I also know the power of resilience — the strength it takes to rise up again when life has tried to hold you down. Every day, I see people at risk rise above barriers of poverty, violence, and limited opportunity. Their survival proves incredible resilience, even in the face of overwhelming odds. With mentoring, it can be nurtured into growth, transformation, and lasting purpose. I believe mentoring is not a luxury — it is a lifeline that turns survival into strength and opportunity. I have dedicated myself to creating safe spaces for healing, growth, and building purpose and to expand my impact, I need to invest in myself. That’s why I want to join Next Level Speakers Academy, a program that will train me alongside some of the world’s best

coaches, mentors and speakers.

This education will help me:

- Harness my story to connect more deeply with at-risk individuals and families.

- Build leadership tools that show others how to turn struggle into strength.

- Learn directly from experts who have transformed their voices into movements for change.

Your support doesn’t just send me to the Academy — it invests in my growth so I can return stronger, more equipped, and ready to help others break cycles, find purpose, and rise into their fullest potential.
