Life leads us in different directions but it’s so lovely when your paths cross again.
I used to work with Nessa Dove in Maryland, until she went up to New York to pursue her music. We stayed in touch on social media, checking each others stories as often as we could.
Then we decided to collaborate on a song that led to other lives being put in the mixer. I’ve never met any of the others but with technology we’re able to do things together.
The song: Stay Strong is available on iTunes and other major platforms.
Spoken word inPidgin English with music, for the encouragement of women.
WOMAN BE THE KEY
WOMAN IS KEY or Woman is important
Anyting she want do, she go fit
Anything she wants to do, she is capable of doing.
Eyes she go take see
She’ll use her eyes for vision. To see physically and perceive spiritually.
Nose she go take sense
She’ll use her nose to detect things. If it’s chicken but smells like fish, there’s something wrong.

We are still in the month of March 2020 and it’s still Women’s history month. History is being made as we write. We are also in the middle of a big health challenge to planet earth. Women and men are working together to combat the corona virus, for the benefit of all of us.
Pidgin English is a simplified grammar of the English language. It developed between groups of people who have no common language but understand English as a main language. In West Africa about 75 million people speak it.
This International women’s day, encouraging women has never been more important. We reemphasize and come at every angle, so that more minds will be creatively engaged.
