Campus Celeb: Lydia Agyepong
Lydia Agyepong is Ghanaian- American, born and raised in Manhattan, New York. Her parents were born and raised in Ghana. Lydia is currently a Resident Advisor of St. Mary’s, friends to many and Junior majoring in Biology with the anticipation of perusing a career in medicine. She introduced a new club to Jesuit campus called K-otic Activity. There are two reasons why Lydia decided to start K-otic Activity. The first reason, in her exact words, was “I have always had a special place in my heart for dance”. The second reason was that Lydia didn’t want to leave campus without leaving her own mark that she can call her own. So for Lydia, her way of achieving this goal was “by doing something [she] loves and something that almost everyone can relate to.”
Lydia said “K-otic Activity is all about being…chaotic! The club was designed to draw in a community that was centered around sharing the passion of dance and expressing styles of dance that Le Moyne’s campus may not be accustomed to. My expectations of this group are to raise the bar in the uniqueness of performances and break down self-restricting comfort zones.”
The name of her fabulous and exciting group is an expression of the actual dynamic of the group. “K-otic does not focus itself around one style of dance; we literally do anything and everything we feel is right.” K-otic Activity consists of a combination of Spanish dance, hip-hop, Caribbean dance, and contemporary and is welcoming anyone to join. “We put no limits on what we perform, that’s why we are known as K-otic Activity.”
For Lydia, we applaud her for pursuing her goal on campus and hope for the best and continual present her wonderful new group, K-otic Activity.
