FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE (573) 592-1127

 

Motivational speaker Bobby Gonzalez will give a talk at William Woods University Thursday, Nov. 10, at 6 p.m. in Dulany Auditorium. The event is free and open to the public.
 
Sponsored by WWU’s Office of Multicultural Affairs, his speech is intended to inspire the audience to think differently and become enthusiastic about diverse cultures.
 
Born and raised in the South Bronx, New York City, Gonzalez grew up in a bicultural environment. His roots are Native American and Latino, which allow him to offer a unique repertoire of discourses, readings and performances that celebrate his indigenous heritage.
 
Gonzalez is not only a motivational speaker, but he is also a storyteller and poet. His outlook on life is exceptional and challenges his audience to become more aware of cultural diversity. He is considered a dynamic keynote speaker, specializing in encouraging audiences of all ages and backgrounds to succeed and fulfill their full potential.
 
Urging his listeners to be more sensitive to the various cultures and belief systems of their neighbors and colleagues, he also helps draw a connection between his audience and their ancestors.
 
“Diversity is the one true thing we all have in common,” says Gonzalez. “Celebrate it every day!”
