40 Guyanese to be honoured with entrepreneurial Awards
Author and Motivator, Mr. Selwyn Collins
Under the theme ‘Building Bridges, Passing Batons’, Brand YOUth will be honouring 40 young Guyanese at its inaugural Forty Under Forty Entrepreneurial Awards Ceremony. This event will be held on April 25 at the National Cultural Centre from 6pm – 8pm (18:00– 20:00hrs).
Brand YOUth is a movement rooted in excellence, unity, community and self-empowerment. It is a “Conversations with Selwyn” (CWS) initiative. Conversations with Selwyn is a New York based web-TV broadcast that was created by author, broadcaster, motivator and mentor Selwyn Collins in 2012.
In 2015, he created a special platform for young people to appear on the programme every Sunday afternoon to share their stories. In 2016, a five-part series called Guyanese Youth in Business was created.
A seven-part series, called Guyanese Youth in Review, was produced the following year by CWS. It is from those series that Brand YOUth evolved with a vision to see an end to poverty in Guyana, realize gender equality, and see the nation reach its full potential in becoming the bread-basket and ‘Silicon Valley’ of the Caribbean region.
In a missive to the media, the Movement noted that most of the Guyanese being honoured would have appeared on the CWS platform.
The event is expected to be attended by Minister of State, Joseph Harmon; Minister of Public Telecommunications, Catherine Hughes; Minister of Public Affairs, Dawn Hastings –Williams; Opposition Member, Gail Teixeira; Canadian High Commissioner, Lilian Chatterjee and many others.
