Javaun Jackson was selected after his electric and lyrical performance of his speech titled: ‘The Key to our Future.’ Javaun discussed the importance of eccentricity, of thinking outside the box and of being innovative. These are characteristics that the judges, and many of the nodding heads in the room, felt were genuine to Javaun’s personality.

Ally Stewart was selected for her dramatic but personal rendition of her speech ‘The Truth’, in which she discussed her experience as a victim of body shaming at a recent audition that she had tried for. They obviously didn’t have the talent scouts that we have here, as she will soon be appearing as Dorothy in the Ashcroft Wizard of Oz!
