  • This talk focuses on the deep seated beliefs, both individual and cultural, that hold people back from achieving their true potential, and ways to move past them.

He is best known for his portrayal of coroner-turned-crime scene investigator Dr. Sheldon Hawkes in the CBS television show CSI: NY. He is also the author of several books including Letters to a Young Brother: MANifest Your Destiny; Letters to a Young Sister: DeFINE Your Destiny; The Conversation: How (Black) Men and Women Can Building Loving, Trusting Relationships; and Letters to an Incarcerated Brother: Encouragement, Hope and Healing for Inmates and Their Loves Ones.

    Harper graduated from Brown University with a Bachelor of Arts degree and from Harvard with a J.D. and Masters in Public Administration. He is a full-time member of Boston’s Black Folk’s Theater Company. Harper’s Bazaar wrote, “You might expect Hill Harper to be the next actor vying for the presidency... but he has other things on his agenda”.

    I'm sure everyone is aware of the beliefs society places on them. Its hard to change. This isn't easy to do... If it were no one would have negative self beliefs, society would move foward a lot quicker.
    This is a good video. But he isn't teaching anyone how to change. Same old inspirational video, tell people if they change life, it will be better.
