WATERBURY

She is known for her poignant voice and charisma, which on September 26 was even more evident when friends and family gathered to celebrate her sixteen years of bright life.

Genaya Monique Preston, a member of the New Hope Baptist Church youth choir in Danbury, a teen leader at the Waterbury Chapter Girls Inc, a national nonprofit youth organization dedicated to inspiring all girls to be strong, smart, and bold, and a student at Waterbury Arts Magnet School pursuing acting career, had the time of her life at her Super Sweet Sixteen party organized by proud mom Norma Taylor

Preston. Born and raised in Danbury, Genaya today lives in Waterbury where she works at the Police Academy League, teaching sports to kids in Special Olympics. In addition to her busy schedule at school, she also participates on a TV Show on Government Access Channel 16, where she interviews folks on different topics related to girls and young women.

May God continue to fill your life with many blessings so you may inspire many other young ones to achieve their full potential.

Happy Birthday!
