 Ruth Monereau

I have known Ruth for a number of years now and she is such an awesome person! I love her spirit and drive. She is laid back and down to earth. But, she is also hilarious! She keeps me in tears! Ruth’s major in school is Entertainment Technology and she also works the sound board at church. Due to her passion and commitment, I believe that Ruth will go far in her career. I salute my friend/sister in Christ!

 Terri Cann

Terri Cann takes her mandate to spread the Word of God through the arts seriously and credits he Holy Spirit for her deep rooted love of God’s people. Her unique fusion of neo-soul, pop, rock, and hip-hop, enables her to reach the masses and share God’s loving and merciful message of redemption, peace, and joy. Er mandate to service to His Kingdom is also apparent in past work with such projects as Unity, a Christian Performing Arts Center that brings the wisdom and discipline of God to youth and young adults through the performing arts.

 Terri’s journey began at the age of eleven, when she prayed and asked God for a voice that would bring glory to His name. Since then, the Queens native has wasted no time doing just that with upbeat tracks and soothing melodies that inspire and touch the hearts of saved and unsaved alike.

A true worshipper at heart, Terri knows how to worship God in spirit and in truth, seizing each opportunity to not only share His message but also express her gratitude o Him. Her God-given talents have opened many doors for the young and ambitious artist, including opportunities to perform in mainstream productions on and off Broadway including Dreamgirls, A Raisin in the Sun, and Born to Sing, just to name a few. Her performing arts resume is extensive including acting, dancing, choreography, writing, and singing background for other artists. She is also a recipient of the coveted Tiffany Award for “Best Lead Actress in a Gospel Play.”

Her music is real and the transparency of her commitment to fulfilling God’s mandate is apparent in tracks like “The Reality of it All,” from her upcoming album. Bold for Christ, she sings from personal experiences and is unashamed in addressing topics the church seems to shy away from. Her innovative fashion sense and keen business mind propelled her to open Image of RoyalT Consulting Services 2010, offering image and performance services to artist.

 With no signs of slowing down, Terri Cann is excited for what’s in store and the upcoming projects she is currently working on. The best is truly yet to come! 

Terri, I salute you!

Angelique Brown

My name is Angelique E Brown. I am a certified New York City Public School Math Teacher for grades 6 to 8. I have also held positions as a fourth grade teacher, math staff developer and math coach. I teach the math component for the Specialized High School Test Prep Program and I also teach the after school 8th grade NYS math test prep. I am the 7th grade leader, a member of my school's consultation committee, and a member of the 8th grade graduation committee.

In 1999, I received my Bachelor’s Degree in Education with a concentration in mathematics and in 2001 my Master’s Degree in Education with a concentration in early childhood from Saint John’s University in Queens, New York. Throughout my college career, I was on the Dean's list every semester and the Dean's National list, and a member of the Golden Key National Honor Society. I received an academic scholarship and the Good Citizen League Scholarship. I was presented with a certificate for volunteer service and a certificate of excellence from the School of Education through Saint John's University.

I am currently in my final stages of my doctorate program through Walden University. I am pursuing my doctorate in education with a specialization in teacher leadership. This is a great accomplishment for me because I will receive a doctorate degree in a field that I absolutely love and enjoy every single day of my life. I am looking forward to teaching at the university level within the next three to five years, as well as being on committees to help improve the mathematics education in the United States.

I always tell my kids that I want them to strive to be better than me in math and in their careers because I believe this is something everyone should desire when helping others. I know I am leaving a great legacy behind for people to remember and for them to strive to do the same for other people.

Angie, I salute you!
