Desiree Casanova
Former Scholarship Recipient
It is with great pleasure that I announce that I will graduate this May.
I am excited to be a Nova Southeastern University Masters in Public Administration graduate! I will surely share a photo from my commencement ceremony.
I continue to work full-time at the City of Coconut Creek and am gaining experience in my local government field.
Thank you again to the scholarship committee and BWA members for being by my side during my academic journey. I could not have done it without you. I am forever grateful.

DOROTHY KLEIN
Executive Director, Broward Public Library Foundation
The Broward Public Library Foundation is presenting LitLIVE!, a free virtual event, on Friday, May 14, featuring conversation with two women of color, authors Kaitlyn Greenidge and Kirstin Valdez Quade. The moderator is Library Foundation Board Chair Nila Do Simon.
Greenidge’s book, Libertie, is an unforgettable story set in Reconstruction-era Brooklyn about one young Black girl’s attempt to find a place where she can be fully, and only, herself. The novel was selected as a March LibraryReads Selection and was featured on many “Most-Anticipated Books” lists.
The Five Wounds, a debut novel by Quade, paints a picture of families in New Mexico with long and proud lineages struggling with poverty and a deadly drug epidemic. Quade is also the author of a book of short stories, Night at the Fiestas, winner of the National Book Critics Circle’s John Leonard Prize and many other awards.
The event, sponsored by Nova Southeastern University, is from 6 to 7 p.m. To RSVP, visit bplfoundation.org/virtual-litlive-2021. Once registered, guests will receive a confirmation email with the Zoom link to the event.

Kristen Goss
Managing Partner, KWG Family Legal and Mediation Services, LLC
Dear Fellow BWA Colleagues,
I am a person who believes in giving back, and I’ve been given the opportunity to do something BIG! The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) is funding the fight against cancer and they have been doing a remarkable job. Since 2017, 55 of the 65 treatments passed by the FDA were funded by LLS!
I am excited to announce that my goal is to raise $50,000 for LLS through the Fort Lauderdale Man & Woman of the Year campaign. My team (Walker Warriors) will be raising as many donations as possible over the next few weeks to help end blood cancer. I am viewing this challenge as a way to honor my parents (John and Martha Walker) who have passed away due to cancer.
I invite you to join my efforts by making a donation and by passing this message on to others who will fund the fight against cancer. The deadline for donations is June 10, 2021.
How to give:
- On-line donations: Visit https://pages.lls.org/mwoy/sfl/ftl21/kgossr.
- Sponsorship opportunities are also available. If interested, please feel free to reach out to me directly: 954-695-6512 or kristen@kwglaw.net.
