“The Multicultural Outreach Program was an amazing opportunity for me to create awareness in the community. With my poetry and everything that I've experienced as a young black woman in Canada, I was able to bring a unique perspective on the panel at the Black History Month Opening Celebration. To the same regard , being a young performer speaking at the A Generation Without Racism Video Contest Awards Ceremony, gave me insight to what other young kids like me think about important topics lice racism and colourism"
