Happy Read Across Jamaica Day!!! GrassROOTS has been building a partnership with the Jamaica Constabulary Force because we know that reading literature enhances empathy and conflict resolution skills. We also know that a significant number of those who are incarcerated are illiterate. Thank you to Constable T. Guy and the youth in Moneague for a great day.

It’s that time of year again—our SuperGirls are soaring to new heights!

Congratulations to SuperGirl Bobbi, who is headed to Howard University this fall to study bioethics! We are beyond proud.

In a world facing critical questions about healthcare access, reproductive justice, genetic privacy, and medical equity, bioethics is more than a major—it’s a mission. Bobbi’s commitment to asking hard questions and advocating for justice through science is exactly what our world needs right now.

From the classroom to the community, she has shown courage, compassion, and curiosity. We can’t wait to see the impact she’ll make.

Go be brilliant, Bobbi—Howard is lucky to have you, and the world is better because you care.
