Anguilla

Profile: Ms. Keria Temika Hughes

Keria holds an Associated Degree and is presently employed as a Customer Service Agent at the Cable and Wireless Anguilla branch.

She has special skills training in budgeting, parliamentary procedures, Company Counseling, Gender Equality, Public Speaking and human rights among others.

Apart from being a youth representative Hughes is also a member of the National Youth Council, Jesus Christ V.I.P, Junior Chamber International, Regional Youth Caucus, Vibes of Potential V.O.P among others.

Keria thinks that the position of RYC representative is very serious in that the main aim is to represent to the fullest, the issues and concerns brought by the young people of Anguilla. By doing this she will be able to assist in making a positive change in her community.

As RYC representative she hopes to be able to participate in the creation of unity and oneness among young people in Anguilla and the Commonwealth Caribbean, sharing the unique culture of Islands and territories, meeting people and learning new ways of developing the youth.

Keria expects CYP to be the primary instrument facilitating the development and enhancement of young people through active participation, gender equality and youth empowerment to the highest standard. She also expects the Department of Youth, Anguilla "to give assistance when I request, that I may liaise with them and for example to be granted space in office whereby I am able to work as my position requires me to."
