Speaker Bio
Trabian Shorters is one of the world’s leading social entrepreneurs and the catalyst of a national movement to first define black people by their aspirations and contributions, then to secure their fundamental freedoms to Live, Own, Vote and Excel.

He is a retired tech entrepreneur, New York Times bestselling author, and former vice president of the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation where he was responsible for $300M in active grants and endowments in 26 US cities.

Shorters is the international authority on an award-winning cognitive frame-work called “Asset-Framing for Equity” which is in high-demand by heads of influential philanthropic, journalism and social impact networks.

Asset-Framing equips its practitioners to have far greater social impact, raise more money, engage broader populations, and make fundamentally stronger cases for equity and systems-change.

Shorters is also the giddy husband of international purposeful branding coach, Yetunde Shorters, and proud father to two adult sons and toddler twin daughters whose brilliance lights his heart daily.
