In this episode, we sit down with Keonté Beals – award-winning musician, author, and storyteller whose journey from North Preston to stages and classrooms across Canada has made him one of the most inspiring voices for youth today.

Keonté shares how a childhood filled with music, community, and creativity shaped the storyteller he would become. From his early days singing and spinning imaginative tales, to his rise as a musician, and ultimately to discovering his calling as a children’s author, he opens up about the moments that pushed him to shift from performance to purpose.

We dive into the creation of his books, the importance of representation, and why empowering young people with confidence and self-love is at the heart of everything he does. Keonté also takes us behind the scenes of his I Am Experience Tour, where he brings music, stories, and powerful messages directly to students across the country – leaving classrooms buzzing with excitement and kids feeling seen, uplifted, and capable of anything.

And for educators, creatives, and community leaders, Keonté talks about his dynamic keynote speaking – how he uses storytelling, personal experiences, and pure energy to spark conversations about resilience, following your dreams, and the transformative power of creativity.

Authentic, warm, and deeply inspiring, this conversation is about more than storytelling – it’s about finding your voice, embracing who you are, and using your gifts to make an impact. Join us for an episode full of passion, purpose, and heart.
