Alasoba Kelsy Braide came to Canada from Nigeria as an international student in 2017 with her two children to attend Georgian College’s Orillia campus for its child and youth worker program. Braide joined the Georgian College Students’ Association and became its vice-president of community engagement and organized the First Black History Awareness Week at the Orillia campus. She became connected with the County of Simcoe through the Community Impact Project. She also volunteered at the Calvary Pentecostal Tabernacle in Orillia.
In 2021, Braide created a Facebook group called Orillia Black Community, allowing Black families to connect with one another and share resources. Currently a support worker with Empower Simcoe, Braide is also a member of Making Change Simcoe County.
