Stephenson Croft and Wendy Stefania Polynice have known each other for quite some time, and they're good friends. Stephenson was born in the City of Ottawa, Ontario, to a Jamaican immigrant father, Luther Croft, and a white mother, Evelyn O'Neill. After his parents divorce, Stephenson was raised by his aunt Cecilia Croft in the City of Boston, Massachusetts, and the tall, handsome biracial brother proudly identifies as an African American even though he was born in the Capital of Canada.
A lot of black Canadians move to the United States of America in search of opportunity, and there is nothing wrong with that. Stephenson saw what limited opportunities awaited black men in Canada. No matter how educated and ambitious, black Canadian men cannot become captains of industry, or highly successful politicians. Canadian racism is insidious and ever present, and Stephenson Croft doesn't care for it at all.
In the United States of America, even though police racism is a major problem, college-educated black men have greater chances of finding success than they would in Canada. Stephenson knew plenty of college-educated black men in Ottawa, Toronto, Montreal, Edmonton, Calgary and Halifax who worked as security guards, cleaners, mall workers and other menial jobs because the private sector and the Canadian government absolutely refuse to hire black men. What's a brother to do under those circumstances?
Stephenson Croft studied business administration at UMass-Amherst, earned an MBA at Northeastern University and presently works for Prudential Financial as an analyst. As for his long-time friend Wendy Stefania Polynice, she recently divorced her former husband Mitchell Constant, and is now raising her daughter Chelsea in the environs of Malden, Massachusetts. The summer of 2020 proved to be a tough one for everyone, and Stephenson and Wendy were forced to rely on each other to survive.
