Why I write?

Flip through a Daily News or Avis paper from the 1970s and you’ll see the challenges then mirror what we face today. We keep swapping faces and while we have made progress, there is still work to be done. Real change starts inside each of us, with honest conversations and new habits.

If you asked me to describe my vision, I’d say I want the Virgin Islands to be the happiest and most educated place on earth. Happiness is more than just a good fete; it’s also balancing health, safety, and prosperity. Being educated doesn’t mean collecting diplomas; it means making decisions based on facts, not just emotion, assumptions, or hearsay.
