Motivational Speaker

Jalyn Bullock – From the Block to the Boardroom

Jalyn Bullock is a powerhouse motivational speaker whose story is as raw as it is inspiring. A proud graduate of Norfolk State University, Jalyn’s journey began in the City of Portsmouth and behind bars — but it didn’t end there. She transformed her life through education, discipline, and a relentless belief that her past would not define her future.

Growing up in underserved communities, Jalyn knows firsthand what it means to feel stuck, overlooked, or written off. After serving time, she made a decision: to rewrite her story and help others do the same. From navigating the criminal justice system to walking across the graduation stage, Jalyn now walks into boardrooms, classrooms, and community centers with a mission — to spark growth where it’s needed most.

Her talks blend real-life grit with professional polish, offering audiences not just motivation, but a roadmap. Whether she’s speaking to youth trying to find their way or professionals seeking purpose, Jalyn brings authenticity, energy, and a message of hope: “You can rise, no matter where you started.”
