Destiny Driven Inc. is a 501(c)(3) social impact organization dedicated to helping young people discover the power of their voice. Through debate, public speaking, and leadership development, we equip youth with the skills and confidence needed to succeed academically, personally, and within their communities.

Our programs are designed to foster critical thinking, effective communication, and civic engagement. By encouraging students to analyze issues, articulate their ideas, and advocate for meaningful solutions, we help develop the next generation of leaders and changemakers.

What People Say

Voices From Our Community

When I first joined the debate team I didn’t know what I was doing. With some hard work coached by Ms. Russell I learned how to show emotion, how to articulate, and how to write my own speeches. I’m here to tell you that regardless of how you’re feeling Ms. Russell can change it. Give It A Try!
K. Smith
When I first joined the debate team, I was very inexperienced and shy. But as I grew and experienced debate with Ms. Russell, I began to understand the importance of my voice. Because of the debate team, I am now a better public speaker and hope to become a lawyer. I will never forget my experience with the program and will cherish it for the rest of my life.
A. Caffey
The project has helped me be an all round affluent, confident person , which was always in me , just needed a little push.
Mya
This program has taught me that I was born to be a leader, it’s ok to have a strong sense of self, and to be bold and courageous into who God has called me to be. I love this program, as well as all of our speakers.
