We had an incredible time today learning from UGA FACS Alumni Shaun Golden from Golden Opportunity For You. Shaun works with youth as a motivational speaker, helping kids, teens, and young adults build resilience against everyday stress.

New study from YDI suggests Black youth are paying an emotional toll of higher anxiety and depression due to racism.
