What baggage are you carrying?
“Backpack” Jeff Young, a motivational speaker, personal development coach, and poet asked this question to ESU students on Wednesday.
Young says that the theme of his presentation, “Are you carrying too much baggage?” seeks to provide people of all ages with advice on what emotional burdens they may be holding onto.
As this “baggage” can often become overwhelmingly heavy, Young says the best thing residents can do for themselves is embrace self-love.
Young was the kickoff speaker for Emporia State University’s observance of Black History Month. Additionally, ESU will be celebrating this February with a BSU fundraiser from Feb. 6-10, a panel on Identity in the Preston Family Room on Feb. 9th from 6-8 p.m, and a BSU Fashion Show in Webb Hall on Feb. 22nd
