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…
As the school year comes to an end for many of our kids, school is also ending for parents, which creates the need for a new family routine. It is time to figure out what your kids will be doing for the summer. This post will outline a couple of recommendations as we all aspire…
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.

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. Yet, here we, thankfully, all…
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…

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.
