The Story of Cordan James

CORDAN JAMES

The Story Of a Comeback Kid

Imagine one of the most raw, honest, and inspiring stories of an unwanted infant born to a drug-addicted mother, waiting in the Foster Care System to be adopted. When love, support, and acceptance come in the form of a white family to a black boy, there are challenges he doesn’t suspect. The life-deteriorating combination of rejection and the lack of culture, nurture, and self-identity is enough to dismantle the future of anyone but Cordan James; he is a survivor turned servant, and he serves through the power of his voice.

Cordan, a loving and connected father of three, shares touching stories of Reunification after a MySpace Search. A decorated combat veteran, serial entrepreneur, long time fighter AND Lover, Cordan is leading from the front with The Comeback Kid Mentorship Program. Cordan states, “This is where comeback kids come back stronger.”

When Cordan James speaks, he doesn’t just address children’s issues; he reaches into the depths of our childhoods, inspiring us to see the beauty in our scars, and empowering us to believe that we are not defined by our parents’ choices. Cordan’s message is a beacon of hope, reminding us that we are not the residue of past mistakes, but rather, the journey to self-discovery is a path paved with challenges to overcome. Triumph, he teaches, is not about never being defeated; it’s about finding the strength to stand tall in the face of adversity.   

With a Bachelor degree in Business Administration from Southern New Hampshire University, he has gone onto to pursue his Masters in Organizational Leadership. Cordan’s diverse and impactful background has positioned him firmly as an effective Motivational Speaker. He speaks with love and compassion. His passion for promoting self-love, personal authenticity and individual growth are some of the most powerful topics he brings to the stage. Cordan James’ hope is to touch as many lives as possible, to provide them with the same motivation, inspiration and determination that brought him to this point in his journey.
