Community. Commitment. Collaboration.
Meridian’s Speaker Series was developed to bring community leaders, professionals, educators, and the general public together to discuss and identify issues surrounding community health. Through poignant guest speakers immersed in experiences related to identified topics, we enable and engage in conversation and discuss potential collaborative opportunities where people within the community can work together to build healthier outcomes for those in need.
This year’s Speaker Series events will feature Executive Speakers Bureau’s best motivational speaker Fabian Ramirez!
Meridian is partnering with local schools to bring the Speaker Series event to these youth to reach them on topics they are struggling with and let them know they are not alone. This comes at a time when our youth need us most as the nation struggles with a youth mental health crisis. Meridian bringing Fabian Ramirez, to our partnered schools in hopes of giving students a voice and to empower them to make a difference.
These events are not open to the public.
Fabian Ramirez, M.A.
Fabian Ramirez knows what it’s like to be bullied—and he’s turned that pain into purpose. As a nationally recognized youth speaker, Fabian travels the country empowering students to stand up, speak out, and believe in their potential.
Growing up in a low-income neighborhood and struggling academically, Fabian was once told he wouldn’t make it. Today, he holds a master’s degree, runs his own business, and speaks to thousands of students each year about resilience, respect, and rising above negativity.
Fabian’s message is real, relatable, and unforgettable. He uses comedy to connect, storytelling to inspire, and practical tools to help students navigate bullying, peer pressure, and self-doubt. His presentations are high-energy, heartfelt, and packed with takeaways students can use immediately.
Whether students are facing challenges at school, at home, or within themselves, Fabian reminds them: “It’s not where you start—it’s where you end up that matters.”
