Internationally recognised political leader, voting rights advocate and bestselling author Stacey Abrams will deliver the keynote address at the second staging of the Pocket Rocket Foundation Student-Athlete Summit on Friday, May 29, in Kingston.

Abrams served 11 years in the Georgia House of Representatives, and is the first Black woman to secure a gubernatorial nomination for a major political party in United States history. She will address more than 150 student-athletes on the topic, “Breaking Barriers. Building a Legacy.”

The summit, themed “Ready. Set. Accelerate!”, will bring together students from approximately 30 high schools across Jamaica for a day of mentorship, development and empowerment. Sessions will focus on mindset, mental performance, physical wellness, goal-setting and life beyond sport.
