The UW Women’s Basketball team told the girls about their experience playing basketball as women. They went through stretching excersises, drills, and the importance of nutritious food. These are all valuable things to learn as a young girl. Thank you to the team for taking their time to come empower our AFRO girls.

Thank you for the KW Titans players for coming out to the Victoria Hills Community center to mentor our Youth Basketball Group. They taught the youth game rules and gave valuable advice. They explained to the boys that “there is always someone watching at these games, so you always have to do your best”. We are so grateful for these experiences, because they show us that dreams do come true and to continue to always work hard.

Colleen James, and her mother, Naomi! On Tuesday our Mother Daughter program participants had the opportunity to hear Ms. James discuss her rise to Regional Council of Kitchener and how her relationship with her mother helped her in her journey. Her advice to the girls was to own who you are, and always get support and connect with your mothers.
