Nyabo (Madam) — Why Are You Here‪?‬

This is my story. This is a story of returning to me. This is my story of travelling to Uganda, Africa. This is my story of how I left my island of Trinidad and Tobago to go to Manchester, United Kingdom, to complete a PhD programme and ended up working with women in Uganda and other parts of Eastern Africa.

Nyabo (Madam) Why Are You Here?

To write this, I had to live it. These stories has given me the opportunity to share from the teachers I met throughout my time on the African continent. Sharing these stories has provided me the privilege to learn wisdom, love, life, joy, spirituality, sharing, authenticity and peace. What you learn you teach. I do this with the hope that someone, anyone will take it and make his or her life a celebration of what is possible. To use it as a guide to live his or her life in authenticity, freedom, passion, joy and service.
