August 1 is a significant day in the history of the people of African slave descent in the former colonies of the British West Indies.
We have come a long way. There is much further to go. Let us remember that we are standing on the shoulders of our ancestors who paved the way for our freedom with their own blood.
Although the history books speak about the benevolence of Queen Victoria who signed the Emancipation Act into law back in 1834, let us remember, and pay tribute to the strong, persistent resistance and the critical role that our enslaved African foreparents played in dismantling the unsustainable system of slavery.
The legacy of slavery persists in many forms. Let us work to dismantle all that doesn’t serve us and constructively engage in the dialogue, action and hard work involved in building a vision of the world we want to create – where all people are treated equally, given equal opportunity and diversity is embraced and celebrated.
Christ in you the hope of glory. That’s why glory matters.
Enabling businesses and people to be successful. This is my mission, my life’s work. It’s always been what I have done wherever I’ve been employed, called to serve or to volunteer.
An experienced business leader, my core values are truth, integrity, and respect.
I believe that values-based leadership is critical for organizational success that is enabled by an engaged and empowered workforce.
Working over the years in several senior marketing, communications, and executive leadership mandates for global, financial, healthcare, and non-profit organizations, it has been through times of transformation and difficult change that I have done my best work.
In my blog posts, I share my perspectives on leadership, marketing and strategy that are based on my key learnings and observations over the years, all with the objective of helping others reach for success.
In my spare time, I enjoy the beauty of nature which I reproduce in my pastel paintings.
