PPG X HER DIGITAL IMPACT | STUDENT OF THE YEAR (2025)

Since 2020, PPG Academy has proudly celebrated its Annual Student of the Year, highlighting students who demonstrate exceptional dedication, creativity, and leadership. In 2025, we are excited to announce that PPG Academy has teamed up with Her Digital Impact to take this tradition to new heights. This collaboration not only honors remarkable students like Anta Kane but also expands our efforts to empower and uplift women in creative and digital industries. Together, we’re creating even greater opportunities to inspire, support, and shape the future of women in technology.

This year, we are thrilled to honor Anta Kane as our Student of the Year! Anta's journey has been nothing short of inspiring, and her impact on PPG Academy and the community of women it serves is profound.

A Champion of Growth and Support

Anta Kane has consistently demonstrated an unwavering commitment to the PPG Academy mission—empowering women to excel in creative industries. Through her active participation, willingness to share her knowledge, and uplifting encouragement for fellow members, she has become a beacon of inspiration for others in the group.

Anta not only embraced the skills and knowledge offered by PPG Academy but also went above and beyond by actively supporting other women in the program. She consistently shared resources, offered guidance, and celebrated the wins of her peers. Her leadership and generosity created a ripple effect of empowerment within the PPG Academy community.

Amplifying the Mission

Anta’s dedication didn’t stop within the group. She became a vocal advocate for PPG Academy and its mission to empower women through creative and digital education. By sharing her experiences and promoting the Academy across her networks, Anta brought greater visibility to the program, inspiring others to join and benefit from its resources.

Her passion for digital empowerment extended beyond PPG Academy, as she also championed Her Digital Impact, another initiative focused on supporting women in technology. By aligning her voice with both organizations, Anta has amplified the mission of empowering women in creative and digital industries to new heights.

A Well-Deserved Reward

In recognition of her dedication and impact, PPG Academy and Her Digital Impact have teamed up to gift Anta Kane with a one-year free subscription to PPG Academy. This gesture is a testament to the profound influence Anta has had on the program and her fellow members.

The free subscription will allow Anta to continue honing her skills, exploring new creative avenues, and mentoring others in the community. It’s our way of saying “thank you” for her tireless support and commitment to uplifting women in digital and creative spaces.
