2011 National Big Sister of the Year

It was nearly eight years ago, but Shatia Y. Edwards remembers the day she met her then 9-year-old Little Sister, Ka'Necia, as though it were yesterday. At the time, Edwards was a second-year college student who wanted to give back to her community. She felt a Little Sister would be a good way to make a contribution while having someone with which to spend her free time.

Comcast Corporation, sponsor of the 2011 Big Brothers Big Sisters National Conference and the Bigs of the Year awards, partnered with the mentoring network to honor Edwards at an awards gala, during the conference in Dallas.
