Brickman AllenBrickman "Brick" Allen is an Arizona native who grew up with the legacy of when you get bucked off a horse, you get right back on, even if you are afraid. Brick is an advocate for youth, speaking all over the world. He teach-es that we are destined t overcome the difficulties of life, which em-powers us with a greater capacity to reach out and help others. In his early twenties, Brick and his wife Malinda experienced a home invasion where Brick received serious injuries, leaving him on life support. Doctors determined that Brick would be on life support for weeks, but only 3 days later was strong enough to come out of an in-duced coma. With his life on the line, Brick realized he needed to get back in the saddle.Relying on his time in high school when he overcame bullying, de-pression, and self-doubt, Brick applied those hard lessons learned to his recovery. Walking out of the hospital within days, rather than months later. Focusing on sharing a message of understanding our own worth and power, Brick now enjoys speaking at youth events, assemblies at high schools, middle schools, elementary schools and anywhere else that youth gather, creating a social disruption against bullying and teach-ing youth to see themselves as powerful agents of positive change in their own lives and the lives of others.
