Michael N. Henderson III

Michael N. Henderson III is a poet, orator, author, entrepreneur, TEDx speaker, and coach — beyond all else, an avid seeker of Truth. Combining lived experience with a clinically trained eye on the sociocultural moment, translated through a lens of faith, he wrote The Birth of Light: Poems on a Pathway to Self-Acceptance.

His work moves in the tradition of Spoken Oratory — the artful, rhythmic, morally urgent speech of the great Black orators, fused with the psychological training and raw honesty that mark everything he performs. He is a Registered Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT #165471).

He partners with artists, entrepreneurs, executives, pastors, and speakers to craft their speeches, keynotes, and personal brands. He is also co-creator of LikeU Cards, a conversation-starter card game carried in Barnes & Noble.
