OSWEGO â SUNY Oswego senior graphic design major and entrepreneur Bobbierre âBobbieâ Heardâs creativity, ability to overcome obstacles and willingness to help others recently earned her a community Unsung Hero Award, presented Jan. 31 by Syracuse University.
Born premature at 26 weeks and 1 pound, 2 ounces, Heard said the doctor told her mother the baby was unlikely to survive. So the fact that Heard not only survived but thrived in starting and running her own clothing company, with a winning positive attitude, has made her an inspiration to many.
The founder or BREKY clothing, Heard was praised as âa ground-breaking graphic designer and a dynamic advocate for programs serving children with disabilitiesâ in the award release. Her premature birth led to cerebral palsy and she experiences seizures, which drives Heard to advocate for inclusivity for others, mainly children.
Since the start of the coronavirus pandemic nearly a year ago, we have come to appreciate the hard work of our nurses and doctors more than ever before. They have worked tirelessly and put in ungodly hours day after day, all to take care of their patients and do their jobs to the best of their ability.
