Visionary, Thinker, Dreamer

Steeve Simbert, a visionary, an ultimate realist, and an aspiring entrepreneur, is a gregarious young Haitian who recently moved to the United States of America. Since birth, he has always experienced difficult and almost unbearable life circumstances, which he optimistically utilizes to motivate and make him stronger in all his endeavors. Steeve is very involved in making a difference. He clearly adores his freedom and his contribution to the success of others. His success is simply due to the participation and support in which society has invested in him. Currently he is reciprocating this investment back to local and global communities by directing his efforts to be part of the “change he wants to see in the world.” His vision is to be a motivational public speaker and social entrepreneur, while following his eagerness to do what he loves most.

Since graduating Magna Cum Laude at North Miami Beach Senior High School in the Biomedical and Environmental Agriculture Magnet Program, Steeve has taken full control of his fate and continues to strive to be the best he can be every day of his life. After his high school graduation, he attended the Ultimate Life Entrepreneurship Camp and won first place in the Business Plan Competition, receiving a scholarship to attend the Ultimate Life Summit in 2010. Since then, he has acquired a new and keen vision of his mission in life. He has received a full scholarship to attend St. Thomas University. Currently, he is a 20-year-old sophomore, double majoring in Political Science and Global Leadership & Philosophy. He is serving as a Public Speaker, Motivational Editorial Writer of Woman’s Essence Magazine, Senior Advisory Board Officer of the Youth Chamber of Commerce, Founder/CEO of the Enlightenment Foundation USA, Co-founder of Re-Envision Your Future, Founder/ President of the Ultimate Life Club at STU, Student Government Association Senator at STU, Student Ambassador, Executive Board Officer of the Honors Programs at STU, Member of Global Leadership/Pax Romana at STU, Member of Phi Beta Lambda at STU.

Steeve has been selected by several national and international organizations, such as: the 2011 Clinton Global Initiative University to engage the next generation of leaders on college campuses around the world; the 2011 Beijing International Youth Festival Global Development Youth Summit to have direct dialogues and cultural exchanges with youth from all over the world; and the 2011 Opportunity Nation Scholar to promote opportunity, social mobility, and access to the American Dream.  Most recently, he was the recipient of the ‘Young Social Entrepreneur/ Venture of the Year’ award in 2011 from the Casimiro Foundation.
