EDDIE’S TOUR JOURNAL
MOTIVATIONAL YOUTH SPEAKER
Motivational Youth Speaker Eddie Cortés in Stanhope, NJ
This week, I had the absolute blast of bringing this solution to Byram Township Intermediate School and Byram Lakes Elementary School in Stanhope, New Jersey. From the moment I stepped on stage, the energy was electric. We laughed, we celebrated, and we dove deep into what it truly means to overcome challenges and embrace a resilient mindset. The students were incredible—fully engaged and ready to soak up every moment of the program.
Motivational Youth Speaker Eddie Cortés in Hardwick, MA
“No one has ever told me that I was worthy of big dreams. I needed to hear that. Thank you.”
That’s what a quiet, reserved student whispered to me after a school assembly program this week. Her words hit me like a ton of bricks. It’s a heartbreaking truth that a young person could reach high school without ever hearing those words. But in that moment, I became profoundly grateful to have the opportunity to affirm her worth.
Resilience in Las Vegas, NV with Motivational Youth Speaker Eddie Cortés
I was sharing a deeply personal story with 7th and 8th graders at Somerset Academy about the verbal abuse I endured from my father. I talked about how his words and his absence made me question my self-worth. But when I mentioned that my mother found the courage to divorce him and free us from his abuse, the students did something truly incredible.
A Youth Summit in Contra Costa, CA with Top Youth Speakers
I was so honored to emcee the 2025 Youth Summit, presented by Supervisor Shanelle Scales-Preston in Contra Costa County, California. This wasn’t just another event; it was a powerful conference designed to inspire the next generation of leaders. It was a jam-packed day of workshops, keynotes, and a festival of innovation, and the students were absolutely electric from start to finish.
