Myke Rousell, a Certified Public Accountant, who was born and raised in New Orleans, LA, but later moved to Texas. He graduated with his Bachelor’s degree in Accounting from Tabor College in Kansas. At Tabor, he played basketball and was an All American in the triple jump in Track and Field.
Myke Rousell will present a thought-provoking talk on the experience of being 'black' in America. By sharing personal encounters and experiences he will disabuse us of the belief that we live in a color-blind society.
He will share experiences that may not make news, but do leave scars. He doesn't think of BLM so much as an organization, but rather as a long-desired wish. Myke was inspired to speak for the benefit of his children and impress upon those of us who are not a visible minority that we as a nation can (and must) do better.
Myke proudly serves as the Sergeant at Arms for Temple Rotary South Club. He is actively involved within the community and is what they call a social butterfly. His hobbies include sports, fishing, hunting, but his most passionate hobby is being a Dad. He lives on little 12 acre farm with his fiancée, Sarah, and their four beautiful children, Camryn, Jackson, Landon, and Aubrey.
