Manny Paul brings the urgency of frontline journalism and the lived experience of the diaspora to stages across America. Engaging audiences with clarity, conviction, and the power of authentic storytelling.
Manny Paul is an award-winning journalist, the founder of Caribbean Television Network, and a sought-after speaker on the issues shaping immigrant America. From newsrooms in Boston to congressional offices in Washington, from FIFA World Cup stadiums to community centers in Dorchester, Manny has spent more than a decade telling the stories that mainstream media too often overlooks.
His keynotes are not lectures. They are invitations. Audiences leave understanding not just what is happening in immigrant and diaspora communities, but why those stories matter to everyone — and how journalism, leadership, and ordinary courage can change what comes next.
Whether speaking to a university audience, a corporate leadership team, a foundation gathering, or a community town hall, Manny brings the same standard: prepared, present, and committed to leaving every room better informed than he found it.
How small, multilingual newsrooms are doing what national outlets cannot — and why their survival matters for democracy.
