Shane (Staff Volunteer)
Hi my name is Shane. I’m a Videographer/photographer and I was extremely interested in joining this project when seeing Juliana’s passion for building this, because I’m someone who also has a need to help others.
When I saw how much love she was putting into this I knew we could reach many people. I am a writer of music so for a talent show to be put together I immediately was looking forward to seeing what level of talent we could bring out of the people involved.

As someone who have been in the development industry for over a decade, I strongly believe the La Juliette Youth Organisation is a remarkable charity organisation. Empowering young people through a unique blend of cultural preservation, education, and talent development is a unique approach. With an inspiring vision to bridge gaps between the Caribbean, Africa, and the UK, I like that La Juliette champions cultural understanding and inclusivity through thoughtfully curated events and programs. Driven by a powerful mission to reduce youth crime and build a future filled with opportunity, La Juliette Youth Organisation will stand as a beacon of positive change and community empowerment. And such an initiative is not only one I will gladly endorse but also contribute my expertise to.
