Fun fact about President Mason of Barbados, she was the first woman admitted to the bar to practice law in Barbados.
Now she is the first President of the Republic of Barbados.

Ronald Dion DeSantis is in New Hampshire today.
A major city in the state is flooded. People’s homes are ruined and property insurance rates are going to skyrocket again after the claims are processed.
But the Governor of Florida is in New Hampshire today.
Day three of Fort Lauderdale floods. Residents of Edgewood tell me no services have been here at all. "You're the first one to ask us if we need anything," resident Steve Allen told me.

Yes we were brought up differently. And even in the Caribbean, a Jamaican is brought up differently from a Barbadian is brought up differently from a Vincetian is brought up differently from a Grenadian and the list goes on.

I've realized something. Ds aren't making a sufficient economic argument for cancelling student loan debt.
When people have more money to spend, they spend some, save some and invest some.
If we really want to focus on stimulating the economy, this is the plan. Not a handout.

Where was the basic human dignity when colonial powers brutalized Kenyans during the Mau Mau Rebellion?
Where was the human dignity when she literally lived off the proceeds of theft.
Where was the basic human dignity when her predecessors enabled and profited off slavery?
We don’t have to send flowers to Buckingham Palace. But, we can be silent. It’s basic human dignity. These mean-spirited comments are unworthy. A family has lost its matriarch. A country its monarch. Is it beyond us to pause our differences and allowing them to mourn in peace?

To my Jamaican friends seeking remote jobs from US-based employers, PLEASE look up the average salary for the position before entering negotiations.
If it's a wage job, search for the minimum wage in the state where the employer is located and use that as the FLOOR.

Umm. Three things.
1. The Jamaican flag was designed by Jamaicans.
2. The Queen is not on our money. She hasn't been on the money since at least 1969.
3. Jamaican (and the rest of the British Caribbean) slaves were freed a whole 24 years before the 14th Amendment.

At this point, the Democratic Labour Party needs to be dissolved.
Barbados has rejected the DLP's request to form a government in their name not once but TWICE, and they were unable to field one successful candidate both times.
Time come. This cannot be Barrow's legacy.

Once in 2012 Rev. Miller came to Calabar to speak and I, a 9th Grade student at the time, walked out in protest.
I did so on principle because I refused to be spoken to by a convict who was also charged with harboring a fugitive.
Why is the Prime Minister giving him credence?
I met yesterday with Rev. Dr. Al Miller and we discussed various topical issues including his recent statement on vaccination.

1. You’re quoting an article from 12 years ago. Circumstances have changed.
2. Barbados made their constitutional changes because their constitution didn’t require a referendum to do so.

It hurts that an entire generation of kids are growing up today that don't know the Kids Club. I don't think that's the name of it but it was a program where if you're an unaccompanied minor, they assign a flight attendant to make sure you get to your intended adult safe.
