Spotlights

My name is Quincy Browning-Morgan and I recently graduated from W.F. Herman Academy Secondary School in the Greater Essex County District School Board. I am continuing my education at the University of Windsor in the Human Kinetics Program. I would like to become a Physiotherapist and focus on sports injury and rehabilitation. I would like to work with the youth and guide them on how to best manage strains, sprains, bruises, tears, and other injuries related to athletics. I think it’s important for Black youth to see themselves reflected in a variety of careers and it is my hope that I could inspire them to pursue the same career path. Outside of school, I have volunteered for a long time at Big Brothers Big Sisters where my grandmother works. I also volunteered in serving dinner at the Caribbean Centre. I applied for The Hour-A-Day Study Club scholarship because I like how this club helps Black students and it will inspire me to do the same one day. I think this scholarship is a commitment to Black excellence and that is what I commit to with my goals. Quincy received the Hour-A-Day Study Club Scholarship & the Martha C. Elliot & George R. Tolson Sr. Bursary of $2250. Congratulations Quincy Browning-Morgan! #HADSCScholarship #HADSC #UGRR #Blackhistory365 #gecsdb

My name is Jordyn Taylor and I recently graduated from Kingsville District High School in the Greater Essex County District School Board. I am continuing my education at St. Clair College taking their Marketing Advertising Communications Management Program. After I graduate, I aspire to work in the industry as a brands promotions manager where I hope to make a meaningful impact in my community! After working as an industry professional for a few years, I then have dreams of opening my own Business Improvements Marketing Firm. Where I would provide struggling small businesses and charitable organizations with scalable resources that help them successfully grow. In addition to being a full-time student, I have been able to participate in numerous extracurricular activities and make a meaningful impact in my community through my 350+ hours of volunteering, at several different local organizations. The organization where I completed the majority of my volunteer work was the Canadian Transportation Museum and Heritage Village. Through these efforts, I gained crucial skills, that contributed to my success. Furthermore, through volunteering, I was able to discover my ideal major for post-secondary studies. I would also like to thank my ancestors who took part in the journey of escaping enslavement and seeking freedom in Canada- through the Underground Railroad. Without their courage and bravery, many of the opportunities and abilities I have today would not be possible. Alongside my admiration for their actions, I envision my ancestors' pride in witnessing me fulfill my goals, excel academically, and achieve all that I have accomplished. Jordyn received the Eleanore Patricia Alexander Scholarship of $3500. Congratulations Jordyn Taylor! #HADSCScholarship #HADSC #UGRR #Blackhistory365 #gecsdb
