Morris (born September 4, 1990, St. James, Jamaica) is Jamaican educator, education development specialist, motivational speaker and Jamaica Youth Ambassador to United Nations and current Executive Director of Jamaica Intensive Reading Clinic. Early life and educationSantana Morris was born on 4 September 1990 in St. James, Jamaica. She wasn't able to speak until she was four years old and later during her schooling she had problems. However, despite that experience, she became a scholar throughout her educational path.[1][2] After doing Grade Six Achievement Test (GSAT), Morris enrolled in Herbert Morrison Technical High School.[2] She earned a diploma and a Bachelor's Degree in Education at Shortwood Teachers' College with honors and her Master's Degree in Management from the University of Technology, Jamaica.[2] Morris earned a Professional Certificate from the International Centre for Parliamentary Studies in Strategic Economic Diplomacy, in London. She is currently pursuing her PhD in Leadership in the United States. CareerIn 2016, Morris founded the Jamaica Intensive Reading Clinic with the aim of promoting literacy in Jamaica through five main components of literacy - fluency, comprehension skills, vocabulary development, phonemic and phonological development.[3][2] That same year, she initiated an All Island Summer Reading Camp under the theme: "Revolutionizing Lives in the 21st Century Towards Holistic Development in Jamaica and the Caribbean Region" to benefit children across Jamaica with literacy challenges. The Summer Reading Camp was first held in 2016 in seven Jamaican parishes.[3] In July 2017, she organized the second Summer Reading Camp with the aim of promoting literacy across Jamaica.[4][5] In an interview for Caribbean Life she said the following about the aim of the camp: {{quote|"There’s a lot going on in society and with the lack of employment among youth and lack of equality for women — literacy is the foundation that will help combat and fight against it. I have a desire to support this through education and cultural development and to create awareness for people to show how important it is."[6]|sign=|source=}}In October 2017, she became Jamaica Youth Ambassador to the United Nations with the role of "promoting youth advocacy and facilitating the participation of young people in decision-making."[7] On 6 December 2017, she received the Prime Minister's Youth Awards for Excellence at the Jamaican Office of the Prime Minister.[8] As the UN Youth Ambassador, in September 2018 she launched a series of talks regarding the safe spaces of Jamaican youth which was held in numerous high schools and colleges in Jamaica under theme: "Preserving our Youth Through Strategic Intervention in Creating Safe Spaces in the 21st Century."
