Christina Persaud (she/her) is the President of The Caribbean Network  after being appointed from her position as VP of Advocacy and Inclusion in July of 2024. Christina started an initiative dedicated solely to growth of mental health awareness within Guyana. This initiative was motivated by Guyana’s long history of intergenerational trauma caused by the lack of education and awareness surrounding mental health. The goal of this project is to provide a learning opportunity for our community and future generations to come through the use of social media. She plans on channeling these morals as President and creating an inclusive, professional and safe space of contact with leadership roles across all careers and fields of study with in the Greater Toronto Area. 

Christina is currently studying business marketing at Humber College and working part-time at the Liqour Control Board of Ontario. She also is looking to become an independent Caribbean-specialized luxury travel agent and a multi-business owner. Christina hopes to continue to share her experiences of culture, travel and the importance of personal storytelling through The Caribbean Network.
