From Adoption to Foster Care: A Journey of Resilience and Rebuilding

Born in Jamaica and adopted into a new life in Canada at the age of eleven, Dwight’s early years were marked by uncertainty and a lack of family stability. His adopted mother, Jenes Morrison, passed away when Dwight was just thirteen, leaving him alone and without a family. Soon after, he was placed into the foster care system, where he faced years of emotional instability, and neglect.

In his youth, feeling abandoned and searching for belonging, Dwight found himself drawn into the wrong crowd—a decision that led him down a path of poor choices and confusion. Without the guidance of a strong, supportive family, he struggled to find his way and to build a sense of identity. However, despite the challenges, Dwight eventually realized that his past and circumstances did not define his future. With time, he made the conscious decision to break free from negative influences, rebuild his life, and find purpose.

A Life-Changing Experience: Volunteering in Africa

A transformative moment came in 2007, when he traveled to Africa to volunteer in refugee camps in Burundi, Rwanda, and Kenya. There, he connected with children displaced by war, many of whom were orphaned and searching for belonging. The resilience of these young survivors profoundly impacted him. Working in the camps not only deepened Dwight’s understanding of his own childhood but also ignited a passion to make a difference in the lives of young people facing adversity. On his last night in Burundi, a life-changing dinner with the President of Burundi, Pierre Nkurunziza, reinforced his belief that leadership is about service, resilience, and using one’s experiences to inspire positive change.

From Refugee to Scientist: A Journey of Strength & Determination

Angelique Morrison's story is one of resilience, determination, and an unwavering belief in the power of connection. Born in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Angelique’s early years were shaped by the challenges of war, loss, and displacement. At a very young age, her family was forced to flee the violence of Africa’s First World War, seeking refuge in Canada. It was a life-altering move that marked the beginning of a remarkable journey.

Starting a new life in a foreign country with no knowledge of English, Angelique faced overwhelming challenges. Isolated and introverted, she relied on books and television shows to teach herself the language. During the late 90s, internet access was limited, but Angelique's determination to connect with others led her to master English, French and learn Spanish. Through sheer perseverance, she not only adapted to a new culture but thrived, excelling academically and socially.

She went on to work as a research assistant in the Cystic Fibrosis research centre at the University of Guelph, all while developing a passion for entrepreneurship and technology.

A Mother's Resilience: Transforming Grief into Purpose

But just when life seemed to be falling into place, tragedy struck. In an unimaginable loss, her 8-year-old daughter Trinity passed away suddenly. The grief was unbearable, but instead of allowing this tragedy to destroy her, Angelique chose to honour her daughter’s memory by becoming a beacon of hope and resilience.

Angelique’s journey from hardship to triumph—her ability to navigate language barriers, rebuild after loss, and overcome life’s toughest challenges—has equipped her with invaluable insights on how to rise above adversity. Today, she uses her story to inspire others, teaching them how to face challenges with unwavering resilience, stay focused on their goals, and turn setbacks into stepping stones.
