Dear @NigelClarkeJa & Governor @CentralBankJA , I would be honoured if you would kindly agree to a webinar with me to discuss the fiscal council & the independence of the Central Bank, please. I feel these are important institutional reforms that the Caribbean should know about.

PLEASE @FT , remove “the Caribbean” from this headline - no Caribbean country is mentioned in your article, we have Covid largely under control in most countries, and this unjust and misleading headline is potentially very damaging for the Caribbean. Please help @katie_martin_fx

In much the same way that 9/11 changed things forever (air travel & AML/CFT) I believe #COVID19 will also change certain things forever, such as hand washing, avoiding unnecessary travel & / or meetings, less handshaking, flexible work arrangements, building financial buffers etc

What exactly is the point of having a public procurement framework if Govt - Govt deals and Govt - Private sector deals are exempt? How exactly does this framework support transparency and accountability around the Govt’s spending of taxpayers / citizens’ money?

Chatting with @davidmcw is always one of my life’s greatest joys. Thanks David! Discussing the EU’s neo-colonialism via Blacklisting of only non-white developing states - Vanuatu in particular - is maddening & heartbreaking though. This has to stop now.

I think women are the Caribbean’s (if not the world’s) most underutilized resource, and have to potential to unlock tremendous socio-economic transformation and progress, if only there was #GenderEquality The #FutureIsFemale

So these strange pigeon / dove birds keep destroying my plants, trying to live in them. Just spotted one again bedding down in my chives, so I opened the glass door to the patio to chase the bird, flailing and shouting...and then I realize... I’m naked.

Think about someone you love, or someone whose love & attention you want. What value do you add to their lives? How do you make their lives better? Easier? And if you struggle to answer that honestly, or if you struggle to find time/energy to add value to their lives, rethink.
