My name is Nicola Jessica Odu. I am a Nigerian Canadian, born in 2004, who studies in Fredericton, New Brunswick. As a young black woman, I have a burning passion for STEM and hope to be amongst the many magnificent medical professionals to improve the quality of life of those around me in the future. In addition, I enjoy discussing racial and gender inequality issues that affect marginalized individuals, and more specifically, black people throughout the diaspora.

I believe it is crucial to take advantage of the opportunities laid out in front of me and acknowledge the sacrifices of those before me that permit me to be where I am now. I hope to be a form of representation that uplifts future generations of marginalized peoples to pursue professional fields of work.

My name is Calah Osamudiamen Iyase. I was born and raised in Nigeria, but lived in the US for a few years before I moved to Canada. I’m 15 years old and in Grade 10. I’m very familiar with social media and try my best to not be biased when expressing my views and takes. I am a proud Nigerian-Canadian, and I love to participate in my culture. My mom is certainly my biggest inspiration so I really look up to her.

My name is Amalachukwu (Amah) Igwilo, I was born in 2004 and I am Nigerian. As a child I have always aspired to be a medical doctor and I one day hope of achieving this dream. During my free time I enjoy drawing and creative writing, any way to express my self creatively. The biggest values in my life are my family and God. 

Inspired by the hard working people in my life, I believe in hard work and the benefits that comes with it. I live by the motto “Everyday by every way I am getting better and better by God’s grace”, in hopes on becoming the best version of myself.

Hello, my name is Nicola Jessica Odu and I am a Nigerian Canadian who studies at Bishop P.F. Reding Catholic Secondary School. There are quite a few things about me that I would love to share! 

For one, I love to dig deeper into topics that focus on racism and prejudice in Canada and have profound conversations with friends, classmates and family on how to fix these issues that affect the black community. I enjoy trying foods from all different types of cultures, reading crime novels and listening to political podcasts. I take pleasure in giving back to my community and hope to continue my journey of self-discovery in the medical field.
