It's a blessing to be living your dream
and enjoying what you do. Where do
you see yourself in the next five years?

Education and writing are my passions.
I hope that my work in education
development will expand to all of the
OECS states to help ensure that all
children receive a quality education
through well-trained, highly effective
teachers.
Also, continuing the Wyetta series will
remain a priority, since I see it as one
of my legacy projects. Wyetta will grow
up and move to Brooklyn, and
eventually travel the world. So there is
a whole lot more to write about.
Any advice for folks who are perhaps afraid
of following their dreams or putting their
work out there?
No one will follow your dreams for you. You
are the only candidate on this planet that
can do that job. If you don’t follow your
dreams, they will die with you.
You are responsible for the one and only life
you have. So build that confidence, quit
trying to please everyone, don’t fear change,
don’t overthink, stop working jobs that
drain your time and talents. Immerse
yourself in your passion taking one step at a
time, even if it means working that 9-5 until
you find your footing. Just take some action,
take the plunge. Grow!
WOW! Great advice Bekha.  "Immerse
yourself in your passion."
