Reginald Ezekiel Ward Jr. is a speaker and philanthropist from Prince George’s County, Maryland. Better known as EZ, his dynamic personality and inspiring journey has led him to speak in front of tens of thousands of people. ‍ He was diagnosed with a speech impediment that hindered him from confidently speaking without stuttering.

It was this same roadblock that became a stepping stone for him. Being teased in grade school gave him the determination to attend speech therapy sessions and find his voice. With his persistence and drive, EZ soon realized that God had gifted him with this voice to motivate others through his own experiences and transformations.

‍ In 2016, he also pursued Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. He went on to complete his Bachelor’s of Science with a concentration in Broadcast Journalism in 2017, and gave his speech as Senior Class President at graduation in front of 23,000 people. In 2019, EZ attained his Master’s at Georgetown University in Sports Industry Management, with an emphasis in Strategic Marketing. ‍ In spite of the obstacles EZ has faced throughout his youth, he’s had the support and guidance of his father to get him through it all. Using his platform and his voice, he plans to impact, encourage and inspire others, to show them how to walk in their destiny and walk in their purpose to be the best version of themselves. ‍ “There’s pain in your purpose and purpose in your pain.”
