I was extremely proud to witness her maiden speech and the commencement of her journey into such a noble profession.
She is destined for great things. Remember her name.

Further, Kiwanna browne also received congratulatory messages from various Facebook users under the minister’s post.
Kiwanna browne graduated from law school in the month of October. To commemorate the occasion and express her gratitude to her family, friends and her loved ones, she shared a long and heartfelt post on her Facebook, which read as follows:
Im not one for the hype and the public attention but I was reminded that some things are worth celebrating in a big way.
Five years ago, I left my job at National Bank to pursue a bachelor’s degree in Law. Three years later, I graduated from the University of the West Indies Cave Hill Campus with a bachelor’s degree in Law with honours in the middle of a pandemic.
A decision to go to law school immediately after was not one that i made without great hesitation. One day at home I got a call from Pauline Hendrickson and Eshe Hendrickson asking me to come to the office immediately and I did. They sat me down and gave me a stern but funny talk about my decision to delay going to law school.
After two very difficult covid years later, it’s finally graduation day!
While I am not physically able to participate in the Graduation ceremony in Jamaica, I celebrate at home with my family filled with gratitude and love.
She expressed her gratitude to (her) many friends and family members who listened to her mental breakdowns and complaints about wanting to quit. I am forever indebted to each and everyone of you.
I am still that quiet and humble girl with a continued desire to serve!!
