Barbadian Ashley Lashley has been recognised for her work in raising awareness about global social, environmental and health issues and climate change.
She’s been named the special mention awardee of the 2023 Enrique Garcia Leadership Award.
The award organised by the CAF Development Bank of Latin America and the Caribbean was presented during a ceremony in Panama.
Ms. Lashley is the current Barbados Youth Ambassador to CARICOM and the founder of the Ashley Lashley Foundation.
