Inspirational Isaiah

ALLENTOWN, Pa. – Isaiah Natale, 26, an aspiring inspirational speaker and resident at Good Shepherd Home – Raker Center, experienced more tragedy and trauma in his young life than many people do in their lifetimes.

Today, he tells his stirring personal story to a variety of crowds in and around the Lehigh Valley, including at Good Shepherd’s orientation for new hires. He also introduced Jillian Mercado, Good Shepherd’s guest National Speaker in a June 2025 event attended by 200 people in South Allentown.

“I thought, what better way to connect with people than to become an inspirational speaker so that people can relate to my story or be inspired to make a change in their life,” Isaiah said. “I want people to know that they are not alone — that we all go through things.”
