Wisdom and Knowledge Expert

I've had the pleasure to become familiar with Coy and his expertise for over 10 years. His expertise ranges from music/entertainment to the agriculture industry. He's knowledgeable, helpful and a great leader. Not only is he a leader but always looking for ways to become a student of understanding and expanding his knowledge base that he's always willing to pass on to others. He has so many treasures in his wheel house and its been such a pleasure working with and knowing him.

Awesome Speaker!!!!

I saw Mr. Poitier speak at an event for the City of Dallas. He was very engaging, and allowed us to ask even the smallest questions. He inspired us to grow our own food as well as motivating the crowd on how even the smallest garden can help with mental health and wellness.

What to Expect

As a speaker, I will motivate, inspire, and encourage audiences to “Forget those things that are behind them and press for the mark of their higher calling”.

For gardening workshops, I offer 30 minutes to a hour of demonstrations, hands on lessons, or virtual sessions.

I also feature my multiple award-winning short documentary, Cowboys of Color, along with a Q&A about the making of the movie and questions about the people featured.

Felony2freedom is a 45 minutes motivational talk about my journey from a felony conviction to the passion driven life of today.

Whether a conference, high school assembly, prison ministry, workshop, church service, or trade show, I look forward to bringing the best motivational speaking, gardening workshops, or “Black of the West” seminars to your events.

About

Coy Poitier (/’pwa:tier/) is a successful and passionate community leader, award-winning film director, urban agricultural consultant, musician, motivational speaker, and certified master gardener. In 2007 Coy moved to Dallas County with his wife and children to assist in his mother’s church as Minister of Music and Christian Education Director. In 2014, Coy became the executive director of FAWC Conservatory of Arts and Sciences and their mission is to promote creative youth and young adult development by linking arts and science education, training, and interpretive experiences with building personal, social, and intellectual capacities needed to succeed in school, career, and life.
Poitier is a graduate of the 2020 Texas A&M AgriLife Extension’s Master Gardener program and a member of the Dallas County Master Gardener Association. He is also certified in native landscape, food management, National Geographic Educators, and other urban agriculture certifications.
In 2021 Coy and FAWC Conservatory’s team dedicated the farm to its founders, Roy and Carolyn DeLoach. At DeLoach Urban Agricultural Center, the community gets hands-on experience on how to grow food, maintain a small garden, and more.
In January 2022, Coy was elected to the USDA's Farm Service Agency (FSA) Dallas Urban County Committee and serves as board chairman. The Dallas Urban County Committee works to encourage and promote urban, indoor, and other emerging agricultural production practices.
He also serves on the Dallas County Historical Commission, Baylor Scott & White- Resident Advisory Council, Dallas C.E.R.T., and Dallas County Medical Reserves Corps.
Coy is a former board member with the Mayor’s Task Force on Confederate Monuments, South Dallas Fair Park Trust Fund Board, City of Lancaster Texas Parks and Recreation Board, and City of Lancaster Texas Tree Board.
