Meet Author, Motivational Speaker,
Consultant, Screenwriter and Producer
TONY A. GASKINS JR.
 Tony
A. Gaskins Jr. is an Author, Motivational Speaker,
Consultant, Screenwriter and Producer, for which he sums
these roles into one title—Servant. He believes that the
greatest among people are those who serve others.
In March of 2009, Gaskins was a featured guest on the
Oprah Winfrey Show, where he was given the opportunity
to share his story of how he overcame growing up as a
witness to domestic violence and ultimately a
perpetrator and offender. Immediately following his
appearance on the Oprah Winfrey Show he was featured as
a guest expert on the Tyra Banks Show, which gave him a
chance to speak healing into the lives of young men and
women around the world who are involved in abusive
relationships.
As a world renowned speaker who’s honest, understanding
and compassionate, there is a great demand for
25-year-old Gaskins to speak and share his story. He is
filling a void that has existed for decades and
addressing issues that men are afraid to discuss,
especially young men his age. These speaking requests
have taken him around the country to many places,
including schools, churches, women shelters, and
rehabilitation centers. There aren’t four walls that he
won’t enter to share his story to inspire and encourage
others to break the cycle of hurt, pain, and abuse.
In 2009, Gaskins released his book, What Daddy Should
Have Told His Little Girl, an updated and revised
edition of his bestselling 2007 release, What Daddy
Never Told His Little Girl. In both books Gaskins shares
the secrets of male behaviors in courtships and
relationships and answers questions frequently asked by
women about cheating, celibacy, emotional and physical
abuse, and other hot topics. He is currently working on
additional books that will teach and inspire young men
and women to live better and productive lives without
anger and violence.
The world is being greatly impacted by Gaskin’s service.
He is not afraid to discuss taboo subjects. He is not
afraid of what the critics will say. He believes that
the only way to bring change and help save a lost
generation is by being transparent and telling a truth
that is rarely told.
Gaskins lives in Tampa, Florida with his wife, Sheri.
They have one son.
