“You are not your worst mistake. You are not your darkest moment. You are not your trauma.”

Rocky Parrish delivers impactful, real-world messaging to youth audiences — especially those facing hardship, systemic barriers, or personal adversity. 

Through honest storytelling and lived experience, he connects with young people in a way that’s relatable, empowering, and deeply motivating.

Each year, Rocky donates his time to three nonprofit organizations aligned with his mission of advocacy, mentorship, and mental health awareness. 

These pro bono engagements are reserved for schools, reentry programs, and youth development organizations making a lasting community impact.

To be considered, organizations must submit a proposal at least one year in advance. 

This allows for intentional alignment, preparation, and maximum value for the communities served.
