The African Nova Scotian Young Leaders Poster is HERE!
We are proud to introduce the African Nova Scotian Young Leaders Poster – Volume 3, celebrating emerging leaders who are making meaningful contributions to their communities and helping shape the future of African Nova Scotian communities across Nova Scotia.
Selected through a province-wide nomination process, the featured young leaders represent the talent, creativity, resilience, and leadership of African Nova Scotian youth and young adults across a range of fields. Their achievements reflect the many ways our young people are advancing education, preserving culture, strengthening communities, and creating positive change.
The African Nova Scotian Young Leaders Poster is a celebration of achievement as well as an educational resource that can support learning, spark conversations, and increase the visibility of African Nova Scotian leadership and contributions.
Schools, educators, libraries, families, and organizations can use the poster to:
✴️Celebrate representation: Highlight African Nova Scotian leaders and provide young people with visible examples of leadership and success.
✴️Support classroom learning: Incorporate the poster into lessons and discussions about African Nova Scotian history, identity, community, and contemporary contributions.
✴️Inspire future leaders: Encourage youth to explore their interests, recognize their strengths, and consider the many ways they can contribute to their communities.
✴️Strengthen community connections: Use the poster as a starting point for conversations about local leadership, mentorship, civic engagement, and community building.
By recognizing the achievements of emerging African Nova Scotian leaders, DBDLI seeks to connect generations, celebrate community strengths, and inspire the next generation of change-makers. The poster reflects the Institute’s commitment to engaging African Nova Scotian youth and ensuring their leadership, contributions, and potential are visible and celebrated.
We congratulate all featured leaders and thank everyone who participated in the nomination process.
