Davide Di Giorgio's Project UNapologetic is a lifelong legacy. When Davide was in high school, he almost didn't make it. He was severely bullied and experienced extreme depression. It was the performing arts and a few extraordinary teachers who changed everything for Davide. Today, Davide is on a mission to give back and to empower performing arts students and teachers to BE more confident, more passionate, and MORE UNapologetic.

I’m so happy to see ayala choir continuing the legacy. I was there to win vocal golden state 1st place for the first time in 2008-09 My grandpa built those trophy cases to pay for mine and my sisters tuition. He passed away last year. I’m so glad they are still standing and that the choir is still living onto its name! ❤️

[@CarmaSpence]

I love how you're paying it forward using what is unique and special about you.

[@mujerconlegado197]

I love this video. The message is so powerful. Having four boys, bulling is something that is in the back of my head. I am so thankful that you are taking a stand to believe in our youth in the mist of our busy life. Thank you Davide for creating this video and taking a stand for the arts program.

[@BeingUNapologetic]

Thank you for believing in me, Claudia!

[@Theglobalsunriseproject]

Schools need champions as dedicated to their mission of helping young people as you are, not only with the donations you're providing but with your amazing empowering message as well!

[@BeingUNapologetic]

Thank you!!

[@DaveDinwiddie]

Davide is AWESOME.... I love the way that he is supporting teens during such vulnerable years. What a gift to the community!

[@BeingUNapologetic]

Dave - thank you so much! It's very emotional for me to go back into high school classrooms still to this day. I spent 10 years teaching and leaving those students was one of the hardest choices I ever had to make... Today, I know that it was worth it because I can go back and make an even deeper impact!

[@TheOjedafamily]

Davide is my hands down favorite speaking coach!!! He’s beyond receptive and always makes himself available. Highly recommend his services and him, overall.

[@BeingUNapologetic]

Thank you, Jay :)

[@arredomi75]

This is one perfect example of the kindness that we need so much this days. Amazing work Davide. Congratulations.

[@BeingUNapologetic]

Thank you, Miguel :) Thank you for your support!

[@michelemiller0]

[@dfuhrman01]

Love how much Davide cares and has taken his mission to high schoolers to get the support they need. And making a huge difference with this community and the art's programs so they can have something that is near and dear to their hearts and take them away from the bullying world. You are the best Davide!!!

[@BeingUNapologetic]

Thank you, Danielle. Your support means the world to me!

[@AskDrAnnika]

Wow, so grateful to be able to contribute a tiny piece in this beautiful gift when buying the book. And having 3 daughters singing in choirs and one of them being a professional classical song teacher with her own choires AND singing being a HUGE stressreliever I just love this project and what you are doing Davide!

[@bisimacgregor]

This is so inspiring and touching. Davides's heart is so big, bright, and open - these kids and many to follow are truly blessed to have Davide on their side! Kudos Davide!!!

[@BeingUNapologetic]

[@kriszabish894]

I loved the look on the students faces when they opened the check! Everyone should watch this! Davide is so selfless and gives because of his heart.

[@BeingUNapologetic]

I had to go back and watch this in slow-motion to really soak it all in... that moment of the check opening is literally a dream come true for me

[@Theglobalsunriseproject]

So heartwarming to see the impact of your work and how inspired and talented these students are!

[@MicheMeizner]

What a wonderful way to pay it forward. Teaching these young people to find their confidence and power is so rare and so necessary. Great work. You are so relaxed and confident and powerful in your presence, it couldn't help but rub off on those around you. Inspiring.

[@BeingUNapologetic]

Thank you!!! Miche, I've spent a lifetime UNcomfortable... so I knew that I was going to show up for these students as a confident guide. I can't wait to take this national!

[@soledadfigueroa964]

I can honestly relate to these beautiful young men and woman that are overcoming conditions that to some would cause to retreat and hide. I too was bullied throughout my ENTIRE school years. From elementary up to high school. While those memories no longer haunt me, yet, at 56 years "young," they still remain as cobwebs of infamy in the bowels of my soul. Thank you Davide, for letting these beautiful and amazing students know that they are so precious and valuable to THEMSELVES. Because ultimately, it is us as individuals that have to battle such haunting memories. I wish you had been around when I was going through this. God bless.

[@BeingUNapologetic]

Thank you for your sharing your story, Soledad. Bullying is so terrible.This is why I'm on a mission to have this seen by millions - so I do this over and over again around the world.

[@carsoncooper7789]

This is going to change kids lives! You are. Unique and beautiful soul Davide. Can not wait to see this grow.

[@BeingUNapologetic]

Thank you, Carson! It takes a beautiful soul to know one - I am so ON FIRE with this mission, and I'm blessed to have you as a friend.

[@blanchesplace]

Davide is the real thing. I've had the wonderful experience of working with him in the past. Wanting to work with students is project he had wanted to do for some time. All I can say is Davide is amazing!

[@BeingUNapologetic]

Dianne - thank you for your kind words! I loved working with you and love your heart and mission. YOU are amazing!

[@Joseebrisebois]

[@BeingUNapologetic]

Yes, Yves! You bring up such a great point. I am really on a mission to bring about good news in schools, that's for sure!

[@DanielleSoucyMills]

[@BeingUNapologetic]

Thank you, Kris! I have barely scratched the surface on the impact I want to make with this project -- thank you for supporting me!

[@MarjorieAlexanderASM]

It's taken me 30+ years to be as confident as some of them exhibited. It's great to see that happening early on.

[@BeingUNapologetic]

Believe me, Marjorie -- at 42...it's taken me a long time to figure it out also -- So I'm on a mission to pay it forward in multiple ways!

[@followyourpathlive]

That touched my heart man, thanks for all the work you're doing and impact you have on these young kids!

[@BeingUNapologetic]
