Que's Story

Que Crane

Author, Academic Life Coach, & Speaker

Arquevious Que Crane has faced more challenges in life than most, and his experiences have afforded him a unique insight into what it means to persevere. His story is one of resilience in the face of adversity – of survival and success against the odds – and his powerful message holds valuable lessons for anyone wanting to overcome obstacles in their own lives.

Grandma's Favorite

From being raised in an abusive environment, the disappearance of his mother, sleeping in cars and abandoned houses, and eventually being bound to a wheelchair following a football accident, it’s fair to say there have been more than a few bumps in the road for Que. But the road less travelled is still a road, and Que’s has led him to a place where he can use his experiences and perspectives to inspire the next generation.

Though Que’s story is unique, his message is universal – life will throw a lot of curve balls at you, and nobody can predict the future. But it doesn’t matter how many times you get knocked down… all that matters is how many times you get back up. Every opportunity to quit or make excuses, Que has done the complete opposite, overcoming doubt and negative beliefs by living the impossible one day at a time.

Que now dedicates himself to sharing what he’s learned with others, speaking at schools up and down the country to motivate students (and teachers) to push past their own limits, jump outside their comfort, and live full and enriching lives. He works closely with schools before, during and after speaking appearances to develop a culture in which students feel safe to be themselves and teachers rediscover why they got into teaching in the first place.
