SPEAKER. MENTOR. COACH.

WARRIOR FOR JUSTICE.

 

Stacy Waggoner is a former college athlete who spent 16 years wrongfully imprisoned—a life sentence he never deserved. Released on parole in 2012, Stacy not only completed parole successfully but also had his sentence terminated. Still, his mission is far from over. Stacy is actively fighting to clear his name and expose the truth behind the injustice that stole nearly two decades of his life. Instead of allowing the system or others’ opinions to define him, Stacy chose a higher calling: to give back, inspire, and empower others.

 

Guided by faith and resilience, Stacy volunteers wherever God leads him. His lived experience and unshakable hope have shaped a message that transforms lives. Whether he’s volunteering at the local food bank, mentoring youth, speaking in schools, churches, or prisons, or speaking at rehabilitation centers, Stacy's story leaves an unforgettable impact. His life is a testimony of how to face adversity without losing your purpose and how to turn bitterness into boundless strength.
