Black E.S.T.E.E.M. Directors
As the Secretary of Black E.S.T.E.E.M. I bring with me an abundance of business and public sector experience. Our organization is dear to me as I thoroughly believe that young ladies of colour need to know that no dream or goal is unattainable to them. I strive to ensure that, through our purposeful and empowering programming, black girls will grow to see that they can achieve anything they set their minds to. I aspire to remind young black girls of their greatness and that a world filled with opportunities is at their fingertips.
I am Annette Grossi, Treasurer with Black E.S.T.E.E.M. A Social Worker for over 20 years, I have worked with Children and Youth in a multitude of capacities, including School Social Work and Counselling. I am dedicated to ensuring that my work is rooted in building equitable spaces that build upon the Capacity and Brilliance of Black Girls. I believe that Ensuring they are given the opportunity to find their Place in spaces not otherwise afforded, is one of the greatest ways we can challenge systems. When we build systems that allow Black Girls the opportunity to thrive and be at the forefront of changing our world, we ultimately will change the world for the better.
