I am a dynamic public speaker dedicated to representing the Choose Yourself Movement on a global stage. My mission is to inspire individuals to prioritize their well-being and personal growth while equipping them with the tools to face challenges with resilience and confidence. Through engaging and thought-provoking presentations, I encourage audiences to cultivate healthy habits, embrace positivity, and recognize the transformative power of laughter—because a positive mindset begins when we learn to find joy in life’s moments.
Hi, I’m Hakeem Mcfarlane. I’m here to remind audience that while life doesn’t come with an instruction manual, you can still ace the test with the right mindset, foundation, and yes, even a little humor.
Real, relatable stories of navigating life's curveballs.
Steps to create balance, accountability, and self-resilience.
A message of hope that lands with honesty and wit.
My ‘BIG DREAM’ is to help you live yours. The choose yourself mission is to provide resources and perspective to empower others with the ability to strip down of the societal conditioning in order to identify their unique gift then monetize their gift by adding value to humanity.
The Audience will be inspired to face challenges head-on, develop healthy habits, and most importantly, learn to laugh a little at life along the way because you can’t think negative if you’re laughing.
Teaching students how to embrace accountability, navigate challenges, and create a foundation for balanced living using the Choose Yourself Process. The "Foundation"
Sharing personal stories of overcoming loss, addiction, and setbacks to show students how to reflect on their struggles and use them as stepping stones to success.
Highlighting the importance of self-investment, mindfulness, and contribution to create a positive impact on their audience, family, and community.

Apparently, I thought I was bionic. Turns out, I'm not, but those surgeries taught me how to "innercise" my mind when my body couldn't keep up.
Both my parents struggled with addiction, but I proved that DNA isn't destiny in the beginning. Just because you inherit a recipe doesn't mean you have to cook it
Growing up with a single mother who was an addict taught me the power of self-reliance
Losing my little brother at a young age taught me the ultimate life hack: no breath is guaranteed, so don't waste yours. (And yes, that includes holding it when you're mad at your siblings.)
Grief hit me hard for 7 years due to suppression. I quit everything my senior year and walked away from a full scholarship. Looking back, I realize the importance of grieving properly-and knowing when to ask for help instead of pretending you're fine.
Today, I run a company (Choose Yourself LLC) helping others embrace their authenticity and build their mind, body, and brand while leading the Choose Yourself Movement. Spoiler alert: it's the healthiest and happiest I've ever been.
At 19, one wrong choice landed me on 20 years of probation for my first crime ever. Thankfully, good behavior and persistence got it dropped 9 years early. Moral of the story? Control your emotions, because the system is more about paperwork than personal growth
I dropped out due to injury and chased partying over purpose- life, then decided to finish at my own pace. Life's lesson? It's never too late to prioritize your future-and sometimes your biggest party should be your graduation.
Recognizing the life events that spark the need for change.
