Breakfast Meeting February 20

Introducing Sherri Sanjurjo, also known as ‘Dymond’, a woman filled with a deep compassion for youth everywhere. 
At the age of 19 Dymond quickly got to work and started motivationally speaking to youth in various community centers and local youth groups. From there she pioneered a youth outreach sports program along with a youth committee for youth at risk at a local church. She has also worked with youth in Peel and Toronto District high schools partnering with programs such as the “Freedom Writers” program, Drama & English programs, and has been a keynote speaker for Black History month in various high schools.

Today Dymond has completed her first book called The Metamorphosis: A Dymond Story, a non-fiction narrative that candidly gives us a look into the life of Dymond from the age of eight to eighteen.  We get to travel with her from New York City’s South Bronx to Toronto’s inner-city Jungle.
