I'm Casey Lartigue, co-founder of Freedom Speakers International (FSI).

In the coming months, we have several events lined up to engage with Harvard University students, alumni, faculty, and staff.

  • Seven North Korean refugees will give original speeches in English based on the contest theme, "I am from North Korea."

But if you'd prefer not to be associated with Harvard University, that's perfectly fine! Feel free to contact me, and we can collaborate to expand FSI's by activating your preferred network.
