Gary Palmer
Former SVG netball captain
to receive lifetime award
By Nelson A. King
The Brooklyn-based St. Vincent and
the Grenadines (SVG) Diaspora Committee
of New York, Inc. said on Monday it
will honor former national netball captain
Stella Boyea-Ashby with its Lifetime
Achievement Award for Sports during
the group’s third Heritage Awards, on
Saturday, Nov. 2, at the Friends of Crown
Heights Educational Center in Brooklyn.
According to Sherill-Ann Mason-Haywood,
the group’s chairperson, Boyea-
Ashby, a St. Vincent and the Grenadines
sports ambassador, will be honored along
with several Vincentian individuals and a
group for their “outstanding contributions
to Vincentian life in the areas of sports,
culture and humanitarian efforts.”
Mason-Haywood said the other honorees
will be: Sports Awardees – Gloria
Lewis (netball) and Adolphus “Pabits”
Davis (soccer); Culture – Evangelist Bridget
Blucher (gospel music) and Shertz
“Problem Child” James (soca artiste and
songwriter); and Humanitarian Efforts –
Kyra-Lee Harry and St. Vincent and the
Grenadines Ex-Teachers Association of
New York.
The SVG Diaspora Committee of New
York, Inc. will also present Memorial
Awards to the families of Maxwell Haywood,
the group’s former president and
Mason-Haywood’s late husband, and the
late Moreen King for “exemplary service
and dedication to SVG Diaspora Committee
of NY Inc. and the Vincentian community.”
Mason-Haywood said the objectives
of the Heritage Awards are “to recognize
Vincentians who have made sterling contributions
to SVG or its Diaspora in the
USA; to motivate and inspire Vincentians
to continuously strive for excellence; to
document the legacies of the Vincentian
diaspora in the USA; and to promote unity
among Vincentians in the Diaspora to
strengthen the cohesiveness of the Vincentian
Diaspora.”
“The 2019 SVG Diaspora Heritage
Awards, a signature event of the committee,
will celebrate our awardees and
showcase the best of Vincentian heritage,
including a cultural package and an
extended cocktail hour featuring Vincentian
cuisine and beverages,” she said.
Mason-Haywood said the gala ceremony
will be held in collaboration with the
SVG-USA Sports Association (SVGUSASA)
and Cultural Association of Vincentians in
the USA (CAVUSA) under the theme “Celebrating
Vincentian Exceptionalism”.
Boyea-Ashby was the captain of the St.
Vincent and the Grenadines Netball team
for 14 years, from the 1970s to the 80s.
Over the years, she received numerous
trophies and awards, and, in 1983,
was voted St. Vincent and the Grenadines
Sportswoman of the Year.
Before migrating to New York, Boyea-
Ashby worked at the St. Vincent Electricity
Services, otherwise known as VINLEC.
For a number of years, she worked as
an executive assistant in the Communications
Department at one of the leading
New York Public Television stations,
Channel 13.
“One cannot go through this life without
knowing our Lord and Savior,” says
Boyea-Ashy, who worships at St. Gabriel’s
Episcopal Church in Brooklyn and is
actively involved in various lay ministries.
In January 2011, she was elected to
serve on the vestry as one of the church’s
wardens.
Her mantra is: “Through adversities,
we will conquer.”
