The one thing that connects all humanity is that no matter our creed, ethnicity, or religion we all have a story. This podcast brings extraordinary individuals from all walks of life who extract principles out of their story that give "POWER."
This week on Power of Story Podcast... 🎙 Join host Taj Dashaun, VP of Self Publish N 30 Days as he interviews inspirational speaker and US Paralympian Dartanyon Crockett and listen to this amazing and powerful story.
Dartanyon was born in inner-city Cleveland, OH. While he is no stranger to trauma, pain, and loss, Dartanyon carries with him some beautifully pure qualities. Dartanyon has a tremendous amount of resilience and a courageous, gentle soul. In high school he crossed paths with a young man by the name of Leroy Sutton who shared these virtues. The power and depth of their friendship resonates across the world, thanks to the help of former ESPN producer, Lisa Fenn. Who eventually became a part of their unlikely family.
The airing of their 2009 documentary “Carry On” aided Dartanyon in pursuing a career as a U.S. Paralympian in the sport of judo. Dartanyon finished his career as a two-time bronze medalist at the Paralympic games, London 2012 and Rio 2016, as well as a 2014 IBSA World Champion. Retiring from sport has led Dartanyon to Metropolitan State University of Denver. There he applied his athlete work ethic towards his degree. Dartanyon devoted himself to researching childhood trauma, substance abuse and a wide range of healing and treatment modalities, while working on a degree in sociology with a minor in social work.
Just before the start of the COVID_19 pandemic, Dartanyon started walking down the path of teaching. Fast forward several months, he is now employed as a Program Manager for YESS Institute. Here, Dartanyon teaches an emotional intelligence curriculum to 6th, 7th, and 8th graders. He has grown to become an expert in the area of trauma recovery and resilience, addressing these concepts by generalizing knowledge from his lived international experience as an athlete, coach and speaker. Dartanyon’s sociological and trauma informed research also guides his every step.
“If everything in my life, and I mean EVERYTHING, was all for this one year of teaching, and I die the moment the school year ends…every heartbreak, every tear shed, every setback, every mountain climbed and all of the pain endured…It is all worth it.” - Dartanyon
