2025 Scholarship Recipient - Janae PearsonThe 2025 Music Unites Jamaica Foundation (MUJF), in collaboration with the Black Angel Foundation through the generous support of Bridget Sandals, proudly recognizes Janae Pearson as a scholarship awardee. Janae's talent, dedication, and commitment to excellence embody the values of both organizations, making her a deserving recipient of this award. During the scholarship presentation ceremony, Janae captivated the audience with a heartfelt rendition of Goodness of God, originally performed by CeCe Winans. I’m so amazed and blessed by this opportunity.
"There was so much going through my head while I was singing. Over the past semester, I was so overwhelmed with all that was going on around me was even wondering if God had forsaken me so I really want to thank the foundation and of course I know that you are an angel on earth cause without your help I know I would have definitely have given up. I pray that God will continue to bless this foundation as they continue to bless talented and dedicated student," says Janae in a recent interview. |
