Remember when there was no such thing as a multiplex and a double feature was just $10.00 TT at Globe, Strand and Palladium? You braved the cigarette (and ganga) smoke, cockroaches and people with no manners and you had a blast anyway. Let's go down memory lane, shall we.
Crime! Crime everywhere! What is a Trini to do? You can forget the police, you are on your own! Hopefully, these little suggestions might one day save your life.
It's back, the favourite cartoon of friends all over. Old and new lovers, enjoy. Non-Trini or non-Caribbean readers, you may find the humour a little different. Leave comments if anything cultural baffles you and I will explain.
I was born in Besançon, France and grew up in Trinidad and Tobago and also lived and worked in several Caribbean islands, London and Brighton. I am a former Naps girl! Go Curie House! I began writing novels at six years of age WITH illustrations no less.
I earn my living from advertising which I entered in 1997 when I was selected as an intern out of forty candidates from Lonsdale Saatchi & Saatchi’s Creative Advertising Workshop. I'm a multiple Gold Addy and AAATT winner.
I balance the superficial nature of my profession by selling corporate clients on innovative positive things for the community whenever I can. I conceptualized "Caring Connections" for Irish Mobile Company, Digicel, in St. Lucia, St. Vincent, Grenada and Antigua and the "People's Canvas" for Label House Group for Queen’s Park Oval Wall in Port of Spain.
One day, I'll quit the biz and focus on writing meaningful work full time.
