Cornell Bunting

Founder/Executive Director

Cornell Bunting, a renowned author and motivational speaker, has the unique ability to inspire audiences of all ages with his powerful words. Yet behind his remarkable writing and dynamic speaking lies a deeply personal journey of survival, resilience, and transformation.

Shaped by his own harrowing experiences—including wrongful imprisonment for crimes he did not commit—Bunting discovered the power of storytelling as a tool to rise above hardship and connect people to their greater purpose. While incarcerated, he witnessed the untapped potential of young men around him and envisioned a pathway to help prevent others from following a similar fate.

Motivated by this vision, Bunting founded EHAS INC (Everyone Has A Story), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering disadvantaged youth. Through EHAS, he seeks to instill in young people a healthy mindset of self-reliance, resilience, and value, guiding them to uncover their purpose through the strength of their own stories.

More than just a crime-prevention initiative, EHAS focuses on equipping youth with the tools to thrive in society. Its programs emphasize mental wellness, financial literacy, and critical thinking, while cultivating a purpose-driven mindset. At its core, EHAS works to reduce cycles of incarceration by helping youth recognize their worth and take positive, impactful steps toward building a brighter future.
