Collins TuohySubject of The Blind Sidewww.greatertalent.com/CollinsTuohy

Collins Tuohy shares a famously close bond with her adopted brother Michael Oher. As chronicled in The Blind Side, it began when she first met Michael in the hallways of Briarcrest Christian School in Memphis, Tennessee.

The Tuohy family’s life, as chronicled in Michael Lewis’ New York Times number one best-seller The Blind Side, went on to become a record-breaking Hollywood blockbuster that earned more than $260 million at the box office and became the number-one opening weekend for a sports film in history.

At the podium, Collins takes audiences through her journey with Michael from fellow student to close friend, confidant, and ultimately, adoptive sister.

NACA’s 2011 National

Convention Keynote Speaker!

Picture UnityK’naan’s song “Wavin’ Flag” was chosen as the Coca-Cola anthem for the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa. Now an international sensation, “Wavin’ Flag” became a #1 hit single around the world and K’naan’s debut on the world stage drew more than 700 million viewers across the globe, inspiring nations to come together and celebrate a future of peace and possibility.

K’naan, along with his mother and three siblings, were able to leave their homeland of Somalia and join relatives in New York City before settling in Canada. There, K’naan began learning English. Despite the fact that he could not yet speak the language, the young K’naan taught himself hip hop and rap diction, copying the lyrics and style phonetically.

Valerie Plame Wilson “Outed” CIA Operations Officer & Best-Selling Author of Fair Gamewww.greatertalent.com/ValeriePlameWilson

As a covert CIA Operations Officer, Valerie Plame Wilson worked to protect America’s national security and prevent the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. Without warning, in 2003 she found herself at the heart of a political firestorm when senior White House and State Department officials revealed her secret status to several national journalists — including a syndicated conservative newspaper columnist who published her name.

Wilson discusses Fair Game, sharing her thoughts on what she views as unprecedented abuse of public trust by the Bush administration in its efforts to silence a critic and subvert the right of citizens to exercise free speech. Wilson also speaks alongside her husband, Ambassador Joseph Wilson, and together they lay out the CIA leak controversy in an incisive and enlightening presentation.
