A Busboys and Poetry Event hosted this week by Backpack Jeff
Jeffrey W. Young, known as Backpack Jeff, is a motivational speaker, spoken word artist, and conflict resolutionist who has traveled throughout the East Coast touching the lives of others with his words. A person who always looked at life as distributing lessons, Jefferey embraces each lesson that comes his way. As “the poet who always has what you need in his backpack,” Jeffrey uses his words to motivate others to never lose sight of their passion and use their imagination to execute their dreams.

For two hours, audiences can expect a diverse chorus of voices, and a vast array of professional spoken word performers, open mic rookies, musicians and a different host every week. Expect to be moved, expect a packed house, expect the unexpected, but above all come with an open mind and ear.
