Another fabulous Walk With Excellence (Ottawa) in the books! Many thanks to all the folks who organized (Three Dreads & a Baldhead crew, OCDSB educators et al.) this expression of Black Joy for the graduates, their families and the community that supports them (teachers, mentors, coaches et al.)! Congratulations, graduates, especially the two Dr. Michelle Walker Scholars! Such inspiring young women! I’m truly excited for your next chapter!

The community came out in celebration of the Class of 2024 for this year’s Walk With Excellence – Ottawa.

We celebrate our Dr Michelle Walker ScholarsLynn Gabriel from Earl of March HS, headed to University of Toronto and Leah Birungi from Woodroffe HS, headed to Carleton University. What a special opportunity it’s been for me to witness them uncover their greatness.

Thank you to all who contributed to making it possible.
