My name is Kaishon Holloway and I believe that advocacy is not just a noun but a verb! My life’s mission is to use my voice to effect positive change for the most vulnerable communities in our society. I have a proven track record as a culture curator, diversity & inclusion champion, employee advocacy expert, and recruitment marketing strategist. My passion for anything on the intersection of technology, career empowerment, and self actualization fuels the work that I do.

I’ve navigated the Tech industry in varying capacities (Customer Advocacy, Customer Success, HR, Employer Brand & Employee Advocacy, Diversity & Inclusion, Marketing, Operations, Social Impact/Environmental, Social, and Governance) for the past 12 years, innovating in multiple sectors at Indeed and Peloton since the age of 19 - often sharing my learnings with the world’s top Employers and most motivated Job Seekers.

I’m a world renowned Motivational Speaker & Edutainer who thrives in 1-on-1, fireside chat, and panel discussion environments where the topic is most accessible to the audience. My goal is to be a voice for the voiceless and provide a platform for marginalized people to amplify their message, all the while coaching those in power to harness their resources to create fruitful opportunities for all.
