Where Passion and Experience, Meet Education.
Many students have returned to school after 1.5 years outside of the physical classroom, and some will be starting soon after Labor Day. As parents cipher through their schools and classes Back-to-School supplies list, it would be remiss of me not to highlight the non-traditional checklist that is oftentimes overlooked and put on the backburner…
Some start and never stop. Others start and stop. The greatest courage it will take however, is to start. Entrepreneurship is a journey and pathway that many desire to take, but do not know where or when to start. Doing so in the middle of a global pandemic can be even more jarring….but not for…
News of Derek Chauvin’s conviction on all 3 counts reverberated throughout social media, the worldwide web, and in the minds and hearts of every informed citizen in the country and in the world. Yet, news of the conviction left some, myself included, with a feeling of…dissatisfaction isn’t quite the word but, it felt like…finally having…
A couple of weeks ago, a video and subsequent news was circulating of a white man, Clifford Corbin, going on a racist rant, more information of which can be found here. And, like clockwork, the obligatory and quite frankly tired, qualifier, and almost predictable apology of, “I am not racist because I have Black friends…”…
I know… I know… I know… It has been a while. There is no rhyme or reason other than we are in a global pause and reset, and…life, trying to balance multiple and competing priorities whilst maintain some semblance of normalcy in what for the entire world is the abnormal.

WHEW. There is a LOT to process right now in Barbados and in the world. Death. Pandemic. Suicide. Abuse. Safety. Mental Health. Racism. Youth in crisis. So much to wade through, while still keeping our heads up in a seemingly indefinite global social, political, and health upheaval. This post has been long coming as there…
Leadership is not for the faint of heart. In fact, it requires that you not blend in, and that you instead go against the status quo to earn the designation of leader. Feathers will be ruffled. Envelopes will be pushed. To lead is to be different. To lead is to be a visionary. To lead…
This post, in my mind, could not be more timely, given the many assertions being made on public platforms, debating the importance or irrelevance of the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement, to Barbados. To be upfront and clear on where Pulse of Barbados stands- Black Lives Matter. Not only does the movement matter, it is…
I try to be measured in my responses to most things, and to not be reactive. This post has been sitting for a minute, being read, reread, edited, and in “draft” mode since Friday, May 29, 2020, as I watched the world’s skeletons (systemic racism and notions of white supremacy) continue to spill out of…
Anyone who was born, raised, has heritage, is vaguely familiar with, or has an affinity for Caribbean culture witnessed what can be described as an epic collaboration between Beenie Man and Bounty Killer on Saturday May 23, 2020. I intentionally will not categorize it as battle because it truly epitomized what respect, camaraderie, and unity…
