Booster Shot: Destra gives keynote at Grenada Jr Achievement Grad

Destra and Nurse Karen in Toronto

Staying connected to the community is so important to me. No matter what you do in life, others are watching. It's good to know how you plan to use that influence. It's an opportunity, not a burden once you look at it the right way.

On May 28th, Destra Garcia made an appearance in Grenada that will likely be cherished in the minds of students there forever.

The Grenada Chamber of Industry and Commerce's held its 2008/2009 Junior Achievement Programme Graduation, and the usually sassy Destra was there offering words of inspiration to the youth. about 350 students from 19 Grenadian secondary schools attended the presentation at Charter Hall, St. George's University.

I think it's wonderful that Destra agreed to give a speech, and even cooler that somebody from the Junior Achievement program thought to ask her in the first place. She's more than batty and breasts you know! (Pardon my french, but I feel some of you fellas could use the reminder)

Naturally the room roared with applause as she took the stage. Destra congratulated the youth on their success, encouraged further education, and asked them to be role models. Sweet eh?

Here's a little quote from the soca diva to send you on your way:

Failure is only a stepping stone to success
