“I thoroughly enjoyed Jeff’s presentation because I could see the faces of the kids engaging with him and following his story. The bang of his presentation was so simple yet profound about overcoming bullying. The way Jeff opened his heart about his own life and the restoration of him and his mom was shocking and shaking, something that many young people need to hear.”
