The United States: the Skeletons in the World’s Closet

Posted on June 1, 2020June 1, 2020 by Pulse of Barbados

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…

The Beenie, Bounty Collab: 7 (Epic) Lessons Learned

Posted on May 24, 2020May 24, 2020 by Pulse of Barbados

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…

…Youth: I applied to almost every grocery store (Context- he was furloughed from a job at a University, a job he started 2 weeks prior to the pandemic induced shut down). Me: You’re willing to risk it? Youth: I need another job. Yesssss! Me: I mean, I do get it. Youth: I don’t have no…

Education…to what end?

Posted on March 6, 2020April 4, 2020 by Pulse of Barbados

I recently had yet another, and ongoing conversation with one of my freshman students (15 years old) that, when coupled with my professional development course work in Educational Leadership and Management, has really made me think. I can slowly and visibly see him becoming disengaged with the educational process. His profile- a young, Latino male,…

Legacy building…

Posted on February 13, 2020March 3, 2020 by Pulse of Barbados

On Sunday January 26, 2020, I was mulling around the house watching mindless television and casually scrolling through social media. Soon after wishing one of my closest friends a happy birthday, I received a message on my phone that made me do a double take and subsequently make me question the validity of the text…

A Response to Brand Barbados: Convening Our Nation, Our Family

As we embark on a new year and a new decade, there is a nostalgic goal setting, mapping out, ambitious, vision-boarding, affirmations, and strategic planning auras in the atmosphere. The likes of this coming recently from Prime Minister Mottley, who spoke candidly about her plan and vision for Barbados over the next 7 years. Her…

You know that ONE family member who finally gets their stuff together, only to do something disappointing and end up back at what feels like square one again? Or the other family member who you are proud of who they’ve become, but aren’t too enthusiastic about some of the things they do? Or the family…

Barbados…52 up, 53 on deck: so many things going right and wrong, all at the same time

Posted on November 9, 2019November 9, 2019 by Pulse of Barbados

Many times and like clock work, as a milestone year rolls around- whether it be a birthday, anniversary, or **insert other annual special event,** it is time for reflection, resetting, and reassessment. It’s where we usually evaluate what is really going on, how we have done, and how we can be better moving forward. For…

Posted on September 16, 2019September 16, 2019 by Pulse of Barbados

In Part I of this 3-part series, we discussed the needs of 11-14 year olds, and the strategies that can be used to work with them, whether they are the most “challenging” or the “easiest” children to work with. In the article Part I: Raising and/or working with youth ages 11-14 years, we also outlined…

Co-parenting when parenting was not the end-goal and/or when a relationship dissolves

Posted on August 9, 2019August 9, 2019 by Pulse of Barbados

A recent national tragedy in Barbados, which will not be rehashed, has prompted this posting. Though reactive, the goal is to provide parents with some of the tools needed to successfully co-parent, beyond the at times muck and mire of contentious relationships between the Mum and Dad. First, the relationship between the child and their…
