"Though I couldn't do as much coaching because of the pandemic, I've still be doing a lot of mentorship youth to encourage resilience in youth, while also trying to motivate them to stay active & getting them what they need to be successful." - Gavin Smellie #BHMresilience


"Following on from what Crystel said, when I was in high school, I wasn't initially told that I needed to take University level courses if I wanted to qualify for scholarships. So I make sure the kids I work with get this guidance." - Gavin Smellie #BHMresilience


"I hope that, through these lockdowns, government officials remember to offer supports so that our youth can keep active: both physically and mentally. We can't let the pandemic be a barrier to them achieving their dreams." - Gavin Smellie #BHMresilience

"What has helped me stay resilient through the pandemic is turning to my family, to my girls. I've also stayed active. You just have to have fun and stay positive during this time. Life is a gift, so let's make sure to enjoy it as much as possible." - Gavin Smellie #BHMresilience


Gavin Smellie Chris Thompson, Staff Lead for the Black Community Advisory Council, closes out our panel, thanking Crystel, Kearie, and Gavin for the wisdom they've shared on the topic of resilience. #BHMresilience
