Mawi Asgedom speaks to Toronto's youth |
| On
Wednesday April 28, 2004 Mawi Asgedom, renowned motivational speaker
from Chicago, will be in Toronto speaking to our youth! Some of you
may recognize Mawi from his appearances on the Oprah Winfrey Show,
as well as in ESSENCE magazine as one of the "40 most inspiring
African-Americans"! |
| The
conference will be hosted by HYPED, a non-profit youth organization.
We are hoping to see as many young people at the event as possible.
Mawi's story of how he made his way from a refugee camp in Africa to
Harvard University is inspirational and needs to be heard by our
city's youth! There will also be a Q&A session and a book signing
after his presentation! |
| Also, if
you can't make it to the event we are looking for people to sponsor
high school students from schools in Regent Park and Scarborough,
who may not be able to afford their own ticket...If you would like
to purchase a ticket in advance (for yourself or for one of the
students) you can contact HYPED at
