Nate Howard, founder of Movement Be, will speak at 7 p.m. Monday in the Sun Room of the Memorial Union. 

Howard will present “Movement BE: Tell Your Story,” which is based off of his non-profit company that focuses on providing a curriculum to assist the younger generation in discovering who they want to be by challenging the status quo. He encourages all of this through poetry.

Howard was featured in the Los Angeles Times in 2013 for beginning the movement against racial stereotyping after 79 Los Angeles Police officers shut down his event at the University of Southern California while he was a student. 

He encourages students to “tell your story before they do” and has had the biggest influence in the San Diego area.
