'To achieve success,' says Rayshawn Pierre-Kerr, 'we must honour that which has been taught to us. Adding value to human existence is greater than simply making money.' A graduate (and educator) of UWI St Augustine’s Department of Creative and Festival Arts (DCFA), Rayshawn knows quite a bit about success. She’s an award winning director, the 2017 Ms La Reine Rivé, Artistic Director of the Tobago Performing Arts Company, and the 2018 UWI St Augustine Valedictorian.
