President Joe Biden recognized Taylor’s dedication to service with the President’s Lifetime Achievement Award. Taylor has spoken to thousands worldwide, and his YouTube videos have garnered over 10 million views.
In August 2023, Taylor launched the Y.B.Normal? Leadership Academy, which has empowered over 3,300 students in its first year. The academy has yielded remarkable results: reading levels increased by 1-2 grade levels on average, attendance rose by 20%, conduct policy violations decreased by 15%, and math proficiency levels climbed by 10%. Beyond the data, students are gaining invaluable leadership skills, social-emotional intelligence, and self-belief in their ability to achieve extraordinary things.
Living by the mantra “Y.B.Normal? When you can be extraordinary,” Taylor exemplifies Dr. Martin Luther King’s belief that greatness is achieved through service. The clear evidence of his academy’s effectiveness in boosting student outcomes is a testament to his dedication to helping youth unlock their infinite potential. As an educational consultant, speaker, and turnaround school specialist, Taylor is committed to transforming the culture and climate of school campuses.
