Youth motivational speaker Omekongo Dibinga will address students at Dulaney High School in Baltimore County Public Schools. The theme for this event is G.R.O.W. Towards Your Greatness! The focus on this specially designed keynote for school assemblies looks at what students need to do to change their attitude going into the new year, quarter, or semester. This presentation motivates students at all levels:

- Seniors getting ready for college who should also be thinking about their legacy at their current school;

- Juniors who are about to become school leaders;

- Sophomores who should understand now that what happens in the next 2 years will be crucial for their college application or whatever line of work they go into;

- Freshmen who now have to realize that next year students will be looking up to them so they need to be more responsible.

Says Omekongo of this event: "The best part about my business is being able to address the generations that come after me. Speaking to students gives me so much hope for the future. As adults, we are inundated with so much negativity from the media about what youth are doing. If we connected with them on a daily basis like I do, we may indeed just change our perception of them."
