We had the chance to talk to three students at this year’s Dreamer Day to hear about their experience, what stood out to them, and the pathways they’re excited to explore. These conversations highlighted the value of creating spaces where young people can reflect, ask questions, and talk openly about where they see themselves heading. About ACE & Co.

The moment you step on stage, it’s not about how you look, it’s about what you leave behind! When you’re in front of an audience, don’t let appearance overshadow purpose. Focus on what you want people to feel. Your message, your presence, and your confidence are what truly resonate. That’s why we created the Speak in Confidence Bootcamp, a space for post-secondary students and young professionals in STEM/STEAM to build clarity, impact, and self-assured communication. This is a great 4-week bootcamp starting January 6th, 2025, created to help you speak with purpose, lead with confidence, and leave a lasting impact wherever you go. Ready to speak with confidence?

Community grows stronger when everyone shows up for each other! We had the chance to speak with Supa D.A. Meikle, M.A. (LEAD), former School Community Engagement Manager at Peel District School Board, about why events like the City of Brampton and Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship (NFTE)'s BlackGen Entrepreneurship and Black Empowerment Unit Summit matter so much. He highlighted how a community-based, partnership-driven approach creates real impact, especially for youth who are exploring their identity, confidence, and future pathways. Hearing his perspective reminded us how powerful it is when schools, organizations, and community partners work together.

Big ideas grow even bigger when youth get the right support!
