📰 📢 BREAKING NEWS: I've been recognized as one of Canada's Top 100 Black Women to Watch 2026! 🏆 ✨

I've had some time to sit with this announcement, and I'm still in awe and filled with gratitude. I have spent the past 6 years equipping people to cultivate resilience as they rebuild their sense of belonging, identity, and influence while navigating life in a new country. So, this award is the kind of encouragement that refuels me to keep doing this work. 💖

My excitement isn't just for the award or the gala. I also get to join @cibwe.ca 's esteemed and growing network of alumni - amazing women who continue to make significant contributions in various industries and sectors across Canada.

I am super grateful to everyone who has encouraged me, assisted me, and advocated for me as I have grabbed opportunities to serve people: here in St. John's, across the province of Newfoundland and Labrador, and throughout Canada. Thank you so much for your support. Now we get to do even more, and do it even better. 🥰
