About me

I am the founder of Dominica Dementia Foundation, we are the only Dementia Foundation in Dominica and the only foundation in the Caribbean. I was awarded by the Queens Young Leaders award by Her Majesty the Queen in 2017 at Buckingham Palace. I also spoke on BBC1 with Prince Harry about the work I do in Dominica in Buckingham Palace. I am a past TEDX speaker, I spoke at the University of Kent. I was also awarded the Youth in Volunteerism and Professional Development award by the National Youth Council of Dominica in 2017. I have been featured on Comic Relief Media Platforms as part of the Queens Young Leaders Programme. I also blog about my thoughts on Medium sometimes. I have a youtube channel called Rianna Extras where I vlog & do chatty videos about my life :3
