THANK YOU to the @indocaribcdn association for the recognition of COMMUNITY MENTORSHIP in the Star Bhai program for Indo-Caribbean boys and young men.
I had the opportunity to introduce the history of the steelpan, its international journey, and spoke about contributions by Indo-Caribbean steelpan arrangers and pannists such as Dr. Jit Samaroo, @amritsamaroo and Lennox, "Bobby" Mohammed.
The word BOLDNESS was also something I spoke to. "Willingness to take risks and act innovatively; confidence or courage" whether asking a question or trying something new even if the answer may be "no" but willing to use boldness anyway to do so.
We have been gifted a beautiful instrument called the STEELPAN because of it and for that I am THANKFUL.
SHOUT OUT to Hanso and the rest of the Indo-Caribbean Association team members for making this a successful event!
