Who is Terrence Smith?

 

Terrence Smith is a visionary communicator and trusted guide in the pursuit of purpose, healing, and wholeness. A dynamic leader, pastor, and founder of kill pride club, Terrence creates transformative spaces where men—especially Black men—can grow, connect, and lead more honest, liberated lives. Through curated conversations, curriculum, and cultural content, he helps men lay down what’s heavy and pick up what truly matters.

 

Whether on a stage, in a classroom, or across a table, Terrence builds bridges between people and their purpose. His gift lies in making complex truths accessible, and his calling is clear: to help others live lives rooted in meaning, integrity, and impact.

 

A dynamic speaker known for his warmth, clarity, and conviction, Terrence engages audiences with messages that don’t just inspire—they transform. Whether he’s addressing a room of leaders, a congregation, or a circle of young men, his words create space for reflection, healing, and action.

 

As a pastor, he has walked with people through their faith journeys—not just preaching to them, but helping them uncover a belief they could call their own. Beyond the church walls, he has led transformative work in building cultures people are drawn to—spaces that are inclusive, life-giving, and reviving to the soul. Whether in boardrooms, classrooms, or communities, Terrence helps shape environments where people feel seen, safe, and inspired to grow.

 

Terrence holds degrees from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (BA) and Emory University (MDiv), and he’s just as committed to the classroom of life. He mentors emerging men of character, facilitates honest dialogue around race and culture, and brings faith to the forefront of public life—without losing the nuance or the humanity.

Through it all, Terrence embodies one truth: your life can be both impactful and whole—if you’re willing to do the work before it breaks you.
