THE CROWN THAT I WEAR ON TVJ's BUSINESS REVIEW
I had the distinct pleasure to be invited to share my books with TVJs Business Review. GOD ALONE!
I now have three published #childrensstories, 2 were released during the Pandemic, and others set in queue for publication.
I am so #grateful. The days are so full; overflowing the brim with tasks and obligations, each moment allotted to maneuvering life's challenges. As I look back how amazed I am to see what God has allowed me to do. Despite. Or perhaps, because of.
I am grateful, and I hope my outpouring is a blessing to you.

THE CROWN THAT I WEAR ON TVJ's BUSINESS REVIEW
The Crown That I Wear featured on the Island Child Style's Runway Launch in November 2022.
The Crown stands for encouraging young Black girls to love their hair, themselves and to be bold as they take on the Runway of Life. The Crown also reminds adult women to love themselves with a gentle compassion for the past and yet a fierce protection of who (we) are for the generations to come.
The Crown also stands to remind us that we are Queens, daughters of the Most High, and valuable in every way. As we are.
The Crown That I Wear is scripted to encourage and inspire young girls, women of all ages, and the people who encounter us in every step of life.

The Children enjoyed the spotlight at ISLAND CHILD STYLE.
Strutting down the proverbial Runway of Life, these ladies showed the crowd their confidence garnered as part of diving into the wonder of who they are, embracing their beauty, encouraging their new friends and showcasing the splendor in their Crowns.
The Crown is a reminder of our heritage; not to be discounted but rather, Celebrated. As we Celebrate, we heal the hurt in our hair, our hearts and our humanity.
These young ladies wore their hair out loud on the ISLAND CHILD STYLE runway, in all of its natural glory. With their heads held high, they strutted their beauty, and the crowd applauded.
May life mimic the BOLDNESS of these girls, and the loving reception of the onlookers.
Be That.

HAS ANYONE SEEN DARA'S SMILE?
David and Dervin are fictional characters in a typical Kingston Landscape. A boy living with his parents in uptown Kingston, and a less privileged boy living down the lane. (Also with his parents).
The objective is to show the alignment of life. What we want is being brought to us in ways that may not make sense to us – and our job in bringing it to us is to focus on it, to help others and to believe. To be kind and active in our daily tasks will place us in the right position to receive that which we want. There is enough for everyone.
This Christmas, and always, DREAM like you were a child. BE KIND like it doesn’t take from you. GIVE like it fills you up. And BELIEVE like your life depended on it.
