🌟 I’m deeply honoured to be shortlisted for the Community Leadership & Empowerment Award at the Black History Month Gala Awards 2025.

šŸ™šŸ¾ This recognition feels especially meaningful because the nomination came from community members and colleagues. Knowing that the people I work alongside every day see value in what we are building together means more than words can express.

šŸ’” Our mission has always been simple but powerful: to create better opportunities and brighter futures ✨ for children, young people and families in Edmonton. None of this is possible without the support, trust and energy of our community ā¤ļø – you are at the heart of this journey.

šŸ“… The awards ceremony will be held on 11 October 2025 at the Concorde Conference Centre in Altrincham, and whatever the outcome, I carry this nomination as a shared celebration with all of you.

šŸ’› Thank you for walking this path with me.
