Derek Clark’s life is one of resilience and redemption. As a
child he suffered unthinkable child abuse, abandonment and
emotional distress before being turned over to the psychiatric
hospital at age five. His 13 years in the San Francisco bay area
foster care system reflected an early life of humiliation,
aggression, emotional distress, overwhelming anxiety and
being wrongfully labeled.
Eventually, with the help of loving foster parents and a
fantastic social worker, he defied the artificial limitations
imposed upon him. Derek knows first-hand how to cope with
adversity and overcoming hardship. His past has never held
him back from accomplishing what he set his heart and mind
to.
Derek is an inspiring speaker, author and has recently become
a viral video sensation for his “Rapping Dad” videos which
have had over 250 million views. He’s also been featured on
CNN Headline News, The Steve Harvey TV Show and many
other TV shows around the world.
He is the author of seven books including “Disable the Label”,
“Never Limit Your Life” and the “I Will Never Give Up” book
series.
His true-life trials and personal triumphs have inspired
organizations with his message of hope and unwavering
perseverance. He has turned his situation from a victim to a
victor, equipping him with the wisdom and the will to never
give up.
