Itβs such a beautiful feeling when dreams come through. This impactful organization (HHRABC) had never celebrated its over 25 years of industry contribution. It was such a delight to work with the board to make this dream a reality.
Among the leaders recognized were Florida Atlantic Universityβs Dr Peter Ricci, Attorney Bob Turk, Hotelier & Author Charles Ryan Minton, Labor and Employment Attorney David Miklas, Floridaβs Department of Defense (DoD) Peter Caspari along with HHRABC President and Board members throughout the years.
As Vice President for the past four years, it was indeed a joy to dream of this celebration and to see it come through.

Book signings. New York. Jamaica. Jerk festival. Cultural events and more. A strong-behind-the-scenes supporter of the legendary reggae music matriarch, Miss Pat invited me to all since I too am an author of 9 books on Success and have been with her from the birth of the idea for her own book titled My Reggae Music Journey. In the end I accepted attending her book signing in Jamaica not realizing that it would be held on my BIRTHDAY.
The evening was divine. Indeed it was an event to remember. Dr Carolyn Cooper shared snippets of her own vision and journey to the creation of the institute of CAribbean studies Mona and Reggae. A story of Success and one to emulate.
Superbly led, the evenings host Professor Donna Hope was a class act and created moments that had the audience laughing out loud.
It was an honor to have met and spent time in the presence of Mariaβ¦. Art Designer and Exhibitor from Greece. She was always there as we selected the cover designed for Miss Patβs book. Her talent and humility are beyond words. Not to mention the talents of deceased Michael Thompson whose wife Maria I also met for the first time. She was always in my prayers for the untimely passing of her husband michael. Solemn moment but satisfying as we reflected on Michaelβs Legacy.
A delightful moment experienced was my in-person hugs from 2021βs ignite Caribbeanβs 30 under 30 Washington DCβs honoree Joelle Powe. If you havenβt seen her newest documentary Beverly Manley Uncensored – youβre missing something. See it on YouTube

Changing careers can be hard and extremely stressful. It has been rated just below the death of a friend. Indeed it is a dreaded time of contemplation and decision making.

Here’s to connecting and making a difference in the lives of others.
