National Symphony Orchestra of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts concert in Trinidad

I had the opportunity to organize this concert as part of my consultancy with Ross Advertising and in cooperation with the U.S. Embassy in Port of Spain. More than just a concert it was a two-day event including classes, two concerts, a nation-wide television broadcast, and one mighty big reception at the Prime Minister’s residence. My favorite part was watching the television director teach the Trini camera crew how to shoot a live classical performance. Big up to Habib Azar and Jay Millard!

Nick & 2Js restaurant opening

I was so excited when Nneka Daniel Braveboy finally opened her restaurant in November. We started this process more than a year and a half ago but then her landlord turned crazy. Complete with an authentic dirt oven, Nick & 2Js is a true Trini treat!

Down Syndrome Family Network Buddy Walk

I am honored to serve on the Board of Directors for Down Syndrome Family Network (DSFN) and was thrilled when our first Buddy Walk (the only one in the Caribbean) was a tremendous success with more than 650 participants. I was near tears to see families with those with Down syndrome realizing they are not alone.
