It's been a couple of months since my last post, as usual I greet those who took the time to visit the pages since then. Hello to you who visited from Belgium, Barbados, Canada, Cayman Islands, France, Germany, Ghana, Hungary, Jamaica, Netherlands, Portugal, Russia, Sweden, the United Kingdom and USA.👋
I'm leaning on my feminist inclinations for another consecutive entry. The title speaks for itself. It is no secret that the Prime Minister of Barbados, the Honourable Mia Amor Mottley was selected as one of Time's 100 Most Influential People.
So, I will feature some recent clips of comments on her fave subjects - the climate crisis, global inequity and being one of the 100 Most Influential People on this planet.
Prime Minister Hon. Mia Mottley - One of Time's 100 Most Influential People for 2022
She is described as "fearless", "speaking truth to power" on subjects such as "climate justice", global inequity, the vulnerabilities of small island developing states to name but a few.
Barbados is on the frontline of the negative effects of climate change - in the path of unpredictably stronger hurricanes, rising sea levels - thankfully the heat is not as unbearable as it is sometimes in Europe. When the Prime Minister champions the cause of the need to act swiftly to effect the changes needed to promote climate change, she is speaking from experience.
So, which musical selection to conclude a piece on this influential person? Having once managed a local band and with the Ministry of Culture within her portfolio, a selection from this year's Crop Over season should hit the spot. Listen to Nikita's infectious "Superwoman".
