2024 Scholarship Recipient
Today, we would like to share with you the story of Juanita Black, a 69 year old receipent of the Fatima Plater Scholarship for 2024-25, a graduate student at Wayne State University, where I attended graduate school. Her cancer journey began 10 years ago (not over) and led her from a career in civil engineering to graduate school pursuing a Master’s degree in exercise and sports science at WSU College of Education with the aspiration of becoming a clinical exercise physiologist. Juanita says,”It’s my full intention to demonstrate that cancer can’t win.That’s why I call it “can’tcer.” I don’t say can because I don’t give it permission to win.”
