Mr. Frankie Wilson
Speaking & media

From the microphone to the research room.

Your team needs ideas they can recognize in their own work and a way to act on them. I bring a broadcaster’s ability to connect and a behavioral strategist’s questions to talks and workshops on change, communication, participation, and belonging.

Behind the stage · TEDxDeepEllum

Making room for ideas.

I co-produced and hosted TEDxDeepEllum alongside my wife, Feleceia B. Wilson, and our partner, Mahin Tariq Sheikh.

That experience connects the speaker’s responsibility with the work behind the event: creating a setting where people can listen, question, and exchange ideas.

Past and present

A storyteller with a scientist’s questions.

Before my behavioral science work, I spent more than two decades in radio, including years hosting the syndicated Inside Gospel. That experience still informs how I listen, interview, explain, and make room for an audience.

I welcome thoughtful interviews and conversations where evidence can meet lived experience.
