The Toronto Raptors and Tangerine Hoops are honouring "Nana" @EricDanwkah, a hero who has continuously supported his community during the pandemic. He has kept the Raptors’ spirit alive and made a positive impact in the Jane-Finch neighbourhood.
A couple of weeks ago Kuya @JuliusNaredo invited @TheJuxtapositionPodcast_ to a Raptors event. He even made a fake flyer and everything!!! He told me not tell anyone like it was the secret service. But little did I know he nominated me for The Community Champ Home Court Advantage Presented by @Raptors & @TangerineHoops . Everybody that was close to me knew I was getting nominated and kept the secret from me . I was surprised and shocked! I am honestly overwhelmed with joy and love! To be recognized for something that I love to do makes me feel loved and seen!! I want to thank @UrbanPromiseTO for planting the seed in me and giving me the opportunity to grow as a man and as a leader. Thank you to all my family and friends that showed out, they’re all a part of my growth! Last but not least I want to thank my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ for giving me vision!! The vision to being a light in my community, the vision for big plans for my community! #JaneAndFinch has a LOT of beauty in it. And there are THOUSANDS of stories just like mine and even better!! -- "Nana"
Here are some #BehindTheScenes shots of the big surprise!
UrbanPromise Toronto's vision is to see a generation of young leaders from Toronto Community Housing who love Jesus and serve their community!
NOT AN AD! It's a shoutout at the Raptors game:
