Confidence & Courage Symposium 

Summer Sizzle BVI held the Confidence and Courage Symposium on Friday, July 17, 2026, in partnership with the BVI Film Commission and H. Lavity Stoutt Community College (HLSCC). 

It was hosted by Crystle Stewart, star of Tyler Perry’s hit Netflix series Beauty in Black. During the symposium, she shared her journey and insights, leading an empowering conversation on resilience, confidence, and the pursuit of dreams. 

In an interview with JTV Channel 55’s Cathy O. Richards and Dean Greenaway, aka ‘The Sportsman’, Summer Sizzle BVI founder & Executive Director Terry T. Donovan described the symposium as uplifting. 

“It was truly amazing to hear that our young women here were so open to having conversations and being vulnerable.” He explained that those present spoke about things that they may have kept inside for so long. 

“The topics and questions and the little test and assignments that Cyrstle gave them, it brought out a lot of emotions, and I have to say even I was teary, so it was beautiful.”
