Brandon Howlett, a second-year student majoring in Business Management at the University of the West Indies, is no stranger to reading citations for the CCRP Living Legacy Awards. Having been a young reader last year, he felt great when asked to do it again, as it showed that his reading was well received. With enthusiasm, Brandon is eagerly looking forward to the opportunity to read the citation for Dr. Blossom Anglin Brown who is being honoured for her outstanding contributions in the field of health, and also the citation for Dr. Lilieth Nelson for her outstanding achievements in entrepreneurship, education and culture.

Reading the citations for the awards will be three young adults who will bring diversity to the event and bridge the generation gap. The other young readers are Sashoi Nichols-Dobson and Shantay East, UWI graduates in marketing and journalism, respectively. Both are Account Executives at PROComm. 
Mrs. Nichols-Dobson will be reading the citation for Hon. Steadman Fuller who is being recognized for his outstanding achievements in business and philanthropy. For Nichols-Dobson, Steadman’s achievements highlight that as a professional you can be successful in many areas of life and not be restricted by your area of study. 

Ms. East will be reading the citation for Mr. Pixley Irons who is being recognized for his outstanding services in philanthropy and volunteerism for community development. East noted that she was elated when asked to be a young reader for the prestigious awards and is honoured to be a part of something that acknowledges people like Mr. Irons who go beyond the call of duty.
