Meet our MyCom Youth Voice Awards Logo Design Competition Runner-Up: Willoh Slade!

Willoh is a 14 year-old from Shaker Heights who attends Shaker Heights High School.  She heard about the MyCom Youth Voice Award Logo Design Competition from her instructor at New Bridge Academy.  As the runner-up, Willoh will receive $50 for her design. When asked what she planned to do with her winnings, she smartly replied, "I'll probably save it."  She loves to design, play basketball (she is the Center for Shaker Heights High School), and shop.  Her personal hero is her mom, Janessa, who is most proud of Willoh because "She is not a follower and she exercises good judgment.  She has immense talent and I am very happy for her to have this recognition."  Willoh will be recognized at the 2015 Youth Voice Awards being held on Thursday, November 19, 2015 from 5:30pm-7:30pm and is presented by Lago on the East Bank of the Flats.  MyCom is generously supported by The Cleveland Foundation.
