OSKALOOSA — William Penn University announced Musco Lighting and Book Vault are partnering to bring resilience expert, bestselling author, and speaker Shaka Senghor to William Penn and Oskaloosa. Senghor, whose journey from incarceration to transformation has connected with audiences worldwide, will present to students and the William Penn community on Tuesday, Feb. 10.

Through raw authenticity and profound insight, Senghor will share his story while equipping others with the resilience practices that fueled his own transformation, proving that reinvention is not only possible but within everyone’s reach. His book shows you how to break free from invisible prisons that hold you back—whether from past mistakes, limiting beliefs, or self-imposed barriers. He’ll discuss the frameworks that transformed his life, helping executives, entrepreneurs, and athletes break free from their own invisible barriers. Senghor’s mission is to show that everyone can achieve freedom and create a life full of possibility, purpose, and joy.

The presentation and conversation with students will center on Senghor’s book “How to Be Free: A Proven Guide to Escaping Life’s Hidden Prisons”.  Thanks to Musco, all William Penn University students and faculty will receive a free copy of the book.

This event is open to all William Penn students, faculty, and staff. We welcome the Oskaloosa community to join as well. The presentation will take place in Penn Gymnasium at 11:15 a.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 10.  Books are available now for purchase at Book Vault.
