With over 14 years of public speaking experience, Keyana (Key) Michel first started her public speaking journey at the Brookline Teen Center internship; at 15 years old speaking in front of donors and sponsors, to raise money for the upcoming teen center. This remarkable experience lasted for 3 years.
She then went on to host cultural shows, along with the pre-show event at the Annual Fashion Show at the University of Massachusetts Amherst.

Known for having a distinctive voice, a dynamic personality, and a compassionate aura; Key has a gift of empowering and inspiring others by authentically combining insight, relatability and storytelling all into one.
Fun Fact: Due to the seniorities in High School, Keyana actually plagiarized her senior essay in High School. She was in a Public Speaking in writing course, where she had to write speeches and recite them in front of the class.
When she was confronted by her then English teacher, he stated to her, “Keyana, I know that you plagiarized your senior essay, but I’m going to give you another chance to revise it, because you are one of the best public speakers in the class.”
Her ability to obtain this skill at a young age, is the only reason why she was able to graduate High School. This story is a true testimony of her gift.
