Last Friday marked a special occasion as alumna Kessley Janvier returned to Bromley High School, sharing her insights with students from Years 10 to 13 and engaging with staff.
Currently pursuing her third year of History studies at Georgetown University, Kessley passionately addressed the audience on “Student Life in the USA and How to be an Activist.”
Kessley reflected on her journey, highlighting her role in establishing the Olive Morris Society at Bromley High, a society dedicated to African-Caribbean students. Her activism continued to flourish in the United States, where she served as vice president for both the NAACP and the Black Student Alliance at Georgetown, contributing actively to local and national politics.
Year 12 pupil Ellie, said, “I was inspired by Kessley and found it very interesting to here about her experience at a US college, and especially the Olive Morris Society she founded at Bromley High School. I was especially intrigued to learn that, given the opportunity to alter any legislation, Kessley expressed a strong inclination towards the abolition of student tuition fees and discussed the huge implications this could have on addressing the racial wealth gap.”
As Kessley progresses through university and beyond, the Bromley High School community extends its best wishes for her continued success and dedication to meaningful change.
