Regardless of one’s profession, people need to read more. Read within your field, read outside of your field, read fiction, read long form journalism, push yourself to read.

Too many people remain functionally illiterate and ignorant of the world despite abundant opportunity.

As we are out here doing our Genealogy and looking at old census records and history, it's mostly written in cursive. There are at least 3 different decades of youth who don't know how to write or read cursive. What the schools won't teach, you better have your children learn it from somewhere else. They will lose history if they don't. #Inspirenaire

@Caribgem_ pretty sure you've heard it before but you got this and it will be worth it. 🙏

Dads are spending 3-4x as much time with their kids as their dads did with them.

When father figures are engaged, kids show better cognitive development, boys have fewer behavioral problems, and girls have fewer emotional problems.

Every child deserves strong parental bonds.

Burning Spear welcomed by Malawi’s President. Most #Jamaicans are unaware of the high level of honour and prestige our foundation #reggae musicians enjoy in Africa, and globally.

[Michael Deibert @michaelcdeibert]

No joking, no “cadeaux.” Just a serious conversation about the situation in #Haiti today with one of the main actors driving events. Interview to come.

A timely reminder that social media is not real.

This book is about Germany’s forgotten genocide in Namibia. It is a compulsory read for every African.

[AFRICAN & BLACK HISTORY @AfricanArchives]

Black soldiers share their racism experience in Vietnam in the 1970s.

It shows how the white supremacists taught the Vietnamese people to hate them.

Me to a tourism board: I've visited your island before, I loved it so much I am coming back with 22 persons. Can we partner/do a collab?

*Tourism board leaves me on read* 😂😂😂😂

Quick reminder: Not all Indo-Caribbean people and other descendants of Indian indentureship identify as and casually refer to themselves as “coolie”.

[Ralph Cantave @RalphSCantave]

We've heard enough talk about interregional support in travel, agriculture, etc. I'm certain we can find hundreds of UWI citations on the topic. It's time we strengthen our interdependence and local production. We can't depend on the fruits hanging over from another man's yard.

[Ralph Cantave @RalphSCantave]

The US dockworkers strike is another wake-up call for the Caribbean since the pandemic. We already have hurricanes to prepare for each year, but this situation is unprecedented. Maybe it will lead to the ease of trade and cooperation in the region.
