Celebrating 10th Anniversary Emerging Leadership

I left the Global Pharmaceutical industry to make an Impact in Society. I achieved my Quest for Doctorate in organizational leadership. As I laid my pen down I took a deep breath and began my Quest for community involvement right there in Washington DC.

I Discovered the Institute of CAribbean studies. Coincidentally, a Board member, Dr Nsombi Jaja reached out introducing me to Forbes top 50 Women of Influence and White-House champion of change, Dr Claire Nelson. That’s how I became engaged in Caribbean American affairs.

Three Years later The vision was breathed. It solidified my dreams and ignited my journey to make an impact in the leadership Development and Recognition of Emerging Caribbean Leaders in the United States and beyond.

That was 2016.

On June 12, 2026, in a Washington D,C. room filled with featured leaders honored from over 8 countries, we celebrated the journey of another dream I had, to look back on a DECADE of leadership Excellence.

The THEN . NOW. & NEXT of over 300 leaders dispersed throughout the United States, the Caribbean, and worldwide.

Dreams do come through

It was my delight to embrace the 10th Anniversary Alumni honorees and the community that embraced, sponsored and supported the venture of the 30 under 30 change-makers.

“let no one define what success means to you, define it for yourself”

Cheers!
