Joshua Tate is a devoted husband, father, minister, and purpose-driven entrepreneur.

Joshua Tate is a transformational youth speaker, thriving entrepreneur, and devoted family man who brings raw authenticity and real-life wisdom to every stage. Raised in South Central Los Angeles amidst poverty, gang violence, and broken homes, Joshua doesn't speak from theory—he speaks from experience. His powerful story of resilience and redemption has made him a trusted voice for students seeking purpose, direction, and hope.

As the founder of three successful businesses in Memphis, Tennessee, Joshua became a first-time homeowner at just 21 and went on to earn over $750,000 in his first year as a full-time entrepreneur by age 24. But his true legacy is rooted in his family. Married to his middle school sweetheart, Crystal, and a proud father of three—including two children with special needs—Joshua’s life is a testimony to perseverance, intentionality, and leading with faith.

Joshua speaks because he knows what it feels like to grow up overlooked, pressured, and uncertain about the future. He became the voice he once needed as a young man—and now uses that voice to help students believe in themselves, break cycles, and realize they’re not defined by their circumstances, but by their choices. His message reaches at-risk youth, students in Title I schools, and high performers alike—giving each group the tools they need to lead, grow, and choose a brighter path.

Whether on stage or in schools across the nation, Joshua’s presence is more than motivational—it’s transformational. He doesn’t just talk about change—he lives it. When schools bring in Joshua, they gain more than a speaker—they gain a partner in helping students rise above and step into who they were created to be.
