Speaker kit · 2026–2027

Michael Shawn Keller

Author and bullying prevention speaker · Sonora, Kentucky (Hardin County)

Mike speaks in schools and workplaces about bullying — the kind we see, and the kind we carry. Coming out, inner homophobia, dignity at work. He is on the path to special education, and he still takes the mic: standing up is learnable work, not a slogan.

What a visit can cover

  • The cartoon bully is a lie. Hallways, staff meetings, group chats, policy that protects the title.
  • Inner bullying / coming out. The voice you carry after the room goes quiet. Drawn from Room 308: Awkwardly Out.
  • A challenge, not a hashtag. Practical next steps from Bullies Among Us.

Format

Assembly, classroom, staff meeting, or workplace lunch-and-learn. English; Spanish edition of Room 308 available for the room (Saliendo Del Closet). Travels nationwide from Hardin County, Kentucky. Connecticut roots.

Books in the room

Signed classroom sets: Room 308, Bullies Among Us, Life in a Week. Ten or twenty-five copies, packed by the author. The three-book shelf is $32 for families who want the set at home.
