Therefore two forms appear on one sheet below – after you have filled them both in, please cut in two, and after handing one to the occupant, keep the other for yourself. Here …

Today we say Jamaica is 52 years old, having gained Independence on August 6, 1962. One year and 2 days earlier President Obama was born, unaware of his destiny to become the president of one of the world’s greatest nations – the United States of America.

Although one being a country and the other being a human, there are similarities, for both had to overcome struggles to convince the world of their innate abilities. Now there is no turning back as the world has been paused to take note of the accomplishments of both Jamaica and Obama and are only wondering HOW, WHEN, WHY…

So as the journey to be even greater realising the individual potential continues.. the world beyond doubt …

The name power-of-attorney can be intimidating at times, but, the individual so appointed never is a replacement for, although carrying out some duties of a trained attorney-at-law. All Jamaicans should be well aware of this term and what it means. The term “power of attorney” is really the document which lawfully allows the appointed individual to carry out legal transactions on behalf of the person who made the appointment. The person making the appointment is called the Principal.

Surprisingly although Jamaica, as a third world country, has surpassed boundaries, and, somehow manages quite well in the first world, many Jamaicans remain clueless on art as a career. Over 200 parents were asked if they would support their children seeking a career in visual art, and needless to say less than a handful were clueless of the field beyond applying paint to canvas to capture a Jamaican scene, and then struggling for months along the sidewalks to sell it. This is unfortunate, especially when so many tools are available to teach and research on just about anything.
On the other hand, some parents question the outcome of their child.
Then you have to wonder how is it that Jamaica is slow at advancing in the human race. After …

Jamaica’s cultural icon Louise Bennett is always going to be known for her poetry in raw uncut Jamaican dialect. On Sunday, August 16 just after Independence celebrations, there was no denying that our culture was put in poetic motion

I take art, all expressions very seriously. Professor Rex Nettleford was one of the critical elements of my education. I had him as a tutor for creative writing.

More importantly, I often times remember a number of things Professor Rex Nettleford would say whenever you need to know the progress of a country, observe how that country treats its artist.
The late professor would say it is the artists who see beyond the natural and interpret and translate for others to be able to relate and they themselves understand.

He called me to his office while I wrote for the Gleaner’s Art Section and firmly told me that I should never stop writing about the Art of Jamaica.
I didnt understand then the fascination of the public with my writings, but over time I will.

Still the Professor encouraged me to …

Back in 1981, I didnt want to buy a Michael Jackson button. I was surprised at the way my schoolmates at Immaculate Conception High School, (all girls), reacted to him, especially considering he lived so far away, and we would never really meet him.

Over time, I myself got more exposed to him, through his expressions. I admired him for his abilities. He was incredible and inexplicable all at once.
