Raymond "Ray" Hendricks
Founder, Men of Tempered Strength
Raymond "Ray" Hendricks is a speaker, author, and transformational leader dedicated to helping men reclaim their emotional authority, build resilient legacies, and lead with integrity.

"I didn’t just survive the fire—I let it forge me.
Now I help other men do the same."
— Raymond "Ray" Hendricks
Raised in Miami, Florida, Ray knows the weight of silent battles—mental, emotional, spiritual, and financial. He’s felt the sting of setbacks and the pressure of expectations, especially as a black man navigating a world that often misunderstands masculinity.
His journey from inner turmoil to emotional clarity laid the groundwork for the Tempered book series: Tempered Strength, The Tempered Mind, and Tempered Legacy. These powerful works, alongside the Strength in Practice journal, created the foundation for what would become a movement.
