Mission

By employing exhaustive, free resources and the time of a local, state, and national declamation finalist, Declamate aims to equitably instill confidence within the underprivleged youth through public speaking for all. By covering specfic delivery techniques and exposure to complex topics, we strive to make students the best speakers they can be.

Creating, teaching, and instilling the power of public speaking is a local, state, and national finalist: Daud Malik. Being a 22x Ohio Speech and Debate Association tournament finalist in declamation alone, Daud is proud to be able to take others on a public speaking journey he has experienced himself. 

We strive to make our materials, workshops, and seminars as specific and comprehensive as possible. Alongside being easily accessible to all, Declamate's content has been trusted by award-winning speakers and stays easy to understand while maintaining an in-depth look on what it means to be a speaker

Outside of a competitive initiative, Declamate hopes to teach youth to employ public speaking into many different spheres of life. Founder Daud Malik himself has been able to use his love of speaking and rhetoric to speak on several occasions on the local, state, and national level on diversity, equity, and inclusion within school districts.

"The art of declamation has been sinking in value from the moment that speakers were foolish enough to publish, and hearers wise enough to read." - Charles Caleb Colton
