I am sincerely grateful to the students, faculty and staff of the Psi Beta Honor Society and Lone Star College for this special honor. While I'm not one for trophies, I am humbled by the consideration.
Thank you for reminding me our mission to encourage and inspire others, young and old, will never be in vain. #forward

What to expect
"Wallace made his audience see that no matter what your circumstance you can make it through life. Your life is whatever you make of it."
"One has only to spend a single day with the man as he prepares for a sold-out comedy event, plans a strategy meeting with his artists and staff, prepares for a presentation with the President of Lone Star College, gathers his thoughts and ideas for a television or radio interview or transcribes notes for his new book, “The Other 99 TYMES” and you will realize (if you play close enough attention) this is a mind that is constantly at work. Carlos Wallace literally thinks with machine like precision."
"As he noted in Life Is Not Complicated, You Are, challenges and negativity should become a catalyst to success."
