It is Tia Upshaw

Book Tia Upshaw!

​

When you book me to speak, you’re not just getting a keynote — you’re getting an experience. I don’t just show up, I show out and make sure every person in the room leaves with energy, connection, and purpose that lasts long after the event is over.

I bring real stories, lived experience, and raw honesty about entrepreneurship, leadership, and resilience — but I also bring laughter, relatability, and transformation. My mission is simple: to ignite people into action.

Whether it’s a corporate event, community conference, panel, or summit, I tailor each experience to your audience and goals. I don’t do “cookie-cutter talks.” I create moments people remember.
