This is usually due to the lack of representation and positive role models. Steve Anderson captures his personal story and shares his challenges and triumphs in his books, Driven to Succeed and Why Not Me? which inspires and encourages each child to believe that no career option is off-limits if they work hard and surround themselves with the right people.
Steve Anderson grew up in Toronto's Jane and Finch community. He became the first Black lawyer hired by the Toronto Transit Commission and was elected as the first Black Deputy Mayor for the Town of Shelburne and County of Dufferin.
