CARLOS V SPENCER
Carlos V Spencer is a graduate of the University at Buffalo, former Div I Scholarship athlete and former NYS police officer. He owns two companies (Carlos V Spencer SPEAKS & Grace N Mercy productions). He is a father, a business man and a leader. Carlos is also the author of the book ‘Flip the Switch’. His main goal in life is for his children and children’s children to one day look at pictures of him and to say ‘thank you’. His motto is LET’S GO, LET’S GROW, LET’S GET IT...
I aim to inspire and motivate individuals through speaking. I have personally experienced the transformative power of words spoken by other accomplished speakers, which has profoundly impacted my own life. Consequently, I am well aware of the tremendous potential for personal growth and life-altering change that effective speaking can bring. Ever since then, my utmost aspiration has been to have a profound impact on the lives of leaders, entrepreneurs, and individuals alike. My purpose is to support individuals in their journey towards self-improvement, as I firmly believe that once you become better everything you do becomes better. I speak to inspire and to motivate. My life has been changed by the words that I have heard from other speakers so I know how much speaking can change your life. From that point on my desire has been to speak into the lives of leaders, entrepreneurs and others. To help people to become better because once you become better everything you do becomes better.

Here are some guidelines for potential contributors:
- We seek stories that evoke wonder and shed light on the often-overlooked aspects of black fatherhood and its impact on the community and the world.
- We love narratives that make our audience recognize and appreciate elements of black fatherhood they might never have considered before. We generally avoid stories that simply highlight cool initiatives or projects (what we might call "Guy With A Project" stories). Instead, we focus on stories that unveil the deep and meaningful impact of black fathers.
- We appreciate stories that can also serve as a vehicle to explore significant cultural or historical contexts, illuminating the profound influence of black fatherhood over time and across different spheres of life
- Our primary focus is on stories created by human experiences and interactions, particularly those that intersect with societal and cultural themes. We're interested in the narrative of empowerment, challenge, and achievement that black fathers often embody.
When pitching, please provide a clear narrative arc: start with an engaging opening, outline the main characters, describe how the story will develop, and specify the major themes and insights your story will explore. While these elements might evolve during the editorial process, a well-structured initial pitch reflects how effectively the story can be told
Keep your pitches concise, ideally to a page or less. Take a look at our sample pitches for guidance on crafting a compelling proposal.
We genuinely read and consider every single pitch. If your story aligns with our mission and captures our interest, we'll reach out to discuss it further, though please allow us a response time of 2-3 weeks.
