Stacy T. Holmes delivers a universal message of motivational inspiration, merging the traditional “just the facts ma’am” presentation with his distinctive “in-your-face” style.  While coming of age in the inner-city of Rochester, New York in the turbulent 1960’s, Stacy and his siblings were shielded from all the noise of protests, hate and violence created by the social ills of the time.  Instead, his blue-collar parents sacrificed to expose him to a rich, childhood of diverse experiences from summer day camps, to formal music classes, sports and the arts.

Now, Stacy even acknowledges how much he benefitted just from the ability to excel both as an Urban Suburban Transfer Student, who was bused to school every day; while at the same time being a member of the all black Mighty Liberators Drum and Bugle Corps, straight out of the “ghetto,” proudly wearing his red, black and green uniform.

Mr. Holmes has translated the daily lessons learned from successfully navigating these culturally diverse communities, seamlessly integrating them into his speaking.  For example, the ability to defy stereotypes, set outrageous goals, and to overcome the challenges of achieving those goals has helped forge Stacy’s universal message to encourage personal, professional and spiritual growth, regardless of current status, profession or world view.

Professionally, Stacy T. Holmes, ACE (Adobe Certified Expert) has accumulated almost forty years of experience from producer/director, to on-air talent, voice-over artist, graphic designer and editor.  In addition, he was the owner and operator of Studio3South in the early 2000’s, a video production company serving clients from commercial to non-profit, government and faith-based organizations.  Many of the projects Stacy worked on have won a variety of industry awards, climaxing in 2018 with a Regional Emmy Award for a weekly talk show produced in Washington, DC that he edited.

Above all, Stacy is most proud of his four fantastic children–BreAnna, Brandess, Brittney and Bryson; being married to his lovely wife for almost thirty years; and being a Man-of-God willing and able to serve his church, the community and those in need.  He lives life with passion and believes that no matter what you have been through, right now is the beginning of the rest of your life.  It is the beginning of a brand-new day.

If nothing else, that is the motivational inspiration message that Stacy desires to give to anyone who will listen.
