One People, One Caribbean

9/21/2017

Irma.
Jose 
Maria. 


Three names, most Caribbean persons do not want to hear about for a long time. For the first time in a long time, since one region has been affected by three major hurricanes. 

On September 6th, Irma started her path of destruction to the Northern Leeward Islands of Barbuda, Sint Maarten/Saint Martin, St. Barths,  Anguilla, British Virgin Islands,  and on September 19th, Maria started her path of destruction on the island of Dominica, moving North West, damaging St. Croix, the eastern coast of Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Turk Caicos and some parts of the Bahamas. 

The various countries mentioned above are currently rebuilding their nations, so they can become a productive society once again. However, we cannot do this by ourselves, and asking you, as citizens of the world, to donate whatever you can to help rebuild these countries. 

The following are different links or services you can donate to, to help the countries in need. If you have any more creditable sources, feel free to comment below and we will post them on our twitter.

It doesn't have a size requirements. Try not to make the boxes too heavy. 150lb 
When you sending the stuff create an invoice and ship it with the box. Not sure if the office in Miami will be holding items because they don't have any invoice. Since they are donations just make up an invoice doesn't have to be accurate.

Selfish // Harvey et Irma

9/2/2017

0 Comments

 

It's not always about you, but sometimes it is.

Selfish: (adj):
​(of a person,action or motive) lacking consideration for others; concerned chiefly with ones's own personal profit or pleasure. 
​Selfish 
Selfish 
Selfish 
Shellfish? 

That is how your personality smells when you only think about you. Like day old, out in the sun shellfish. 
Picture
​It's okay to be selfish sometimes, especially if you always trying to make sure that everyone and their mother, sister,uncle or friend is doing good before yourself. 

Let me raise my hand here in guilt for a second. 
Picture
You have to make sometime for you . Go out, get dolled up, sleep in, go on a getaway. Do something for you. ​
Picture
​For those who think the world revolves around them and that they need all the attention, YOU COULD.......... 

You are not only destroying yourself but you are also harming the people around you. Those really unselfish persons might be going crazy trying to cater to your needs while you don't give two cat or dog about them. 

This really ruin friendships, relationships and even professional partnerships. 
It also makes you look extremely bad at the end of the day. 

Also, whenever someone tell you about how your selfishness affects them, please ah beg yuh, don't say "what about my feelings"

Like excuse me what about theirs? What about their mental health?
You never want to get on the bad side of a really caring person.

Harvey et Irma 

Harvey came in and gave Texas oneset ah licks. That hurricane and other flooding in Nepal and Sierra Leone should be enough proof that global warming is real. Like yes guys, it is an actual thing. 

My thoughts and prayers are out for all the victims of these horrible natural disasters.  If you have the funds to donate to these areas, please do such. My warning to you is do not donate to the Red Cross, like DO NOT. 


Haiti is still waiting for their adequate amount of funds from the earthquake in 2010. 


For all my people living in the Caribbean especially in the Leeward islands, please start preparing for Irma. She is already big and powerful in the Atlantic and it planning to make landfall on Wednesday. The waters are hot, so we have no idea how much more she can develop. I pray that we make through the storm safely and that our recovering wouldn't be as bad as strong hurricanes like George and Louis. 

I wish much blessings and peace over everyone today and for the rest of 2017. Continue pushing to be the best you can be. 

Much Love.
