THE TEAM
Patrice Njoh – Marketing Lead
Moving to inner city Detroit from War torn Liberia, Patrice grew up seeing firsthand how underserved youth in the city of Detroit were coping with the pressures of adolescence. With friends dropping out of school and getting pregnant at a young age, Patrice faced many of the same temptations that youth her age were facing. What helped her stay focused during difficult times was the strong community of women within her own family. The strength she pulled from the women around her fortified her future success. This sisterhood of women was the support system that helped her develop a positive self-image, as well as gave her the confidence to achieve goals during her teenage years and into young adulthood.
These experiences in Detroit taught Patrice many lessons on how to develop and motivate young women while keeping them engaged and positive. Currently Patrice is living and working in Toronto, coordinating girl’s mentoring and leadership development programs. She enjoys spending free time with family and friends. Her favourite book is Love in the Time of Cholera.
