Windrush 2021 The place we came from

The island that I know has memories  on the beach, in the imprint of steps taken one at a time. Finding a voice in poetic stance Trodding over branches that fell onto white, sunkissed sand, warm like the turn of Autumn to Spring.  I walked over these paths many times, reminiscing of days lying there, looking up into clarity. The sky responds with a bright, arched grin. The hues of blue laughing. Mindful that lunchtime approaches, a sip of iced coolsicle, crushed ice water dripping down the glass, onto the sandy beach. Smiling, my skin is scorched red and I forget the sun lotion.   Now stinging, my skin feels sore. I now it is time to go into the sea and feel reassured that summer is always around the corner.

Just recevied an invitation to apply to go to an event at Google's Headquarters in Californ-ia

Google's invite to apply to go to an event at their Headquarter base I strive to make the community a better place since forever, as it has been part of my Prep school education in the Caribbean.  You have no idea what I have had to endure being put on stage since the age of 6-7 yrs old. So this invite to Google's Headquarters is one of the many 'gifts' I have received since my Convent school aim to make us Champions in the world.
