The Women's Readiness Program, which was held by Truly Alive Youth and Family Foundation, makes the community powerful and helps women to stay connected and adapt in the workplace and society of Canada. Programs held during Black History Month such as the Gala help the new generation to understand adversity and prevent racism and discrimination, which are very important in a country like Canada. Thanks to Truly Alive for such an amazing program and for giving me the opportunity to be part of it.

I had a great time with all the wonderful people around at the candle making workshop organized by TAYFFI. We enjoyed making the candle and bath salt. Look forward to other skill development workshops.

I am Claudia Marcelino from Dominican Republic. I liked the workshop a lot, it was feminine, educational, it was more than I expected honestly. For improvement, allow more time and have more people assisting or use the same guests to have different tasks assigned. Anything that involves learning and chatting with women, count me in!

English and math classes have been foundational to my academic journey. English classes enhanced my communication skills, allowing me to articulate ideas clearly and effectively. Math classes, on the other hand, sharpened my problem-solving abilities and logical thinking. Together, these subjects have provided a strong basis for critical analysis and creative expression, essential in both my personal and professional life.

The Science classes are nice, because it teaches about lots of topics, like: DNA and cell growth, it also helps with your mindset. I am happy to do my presentation, the thing that inspired me to do it, because I understand the lessons.
