Happy 32nd Independence Anniversary from The
Management and Staff of KVK ENTERPRISES - www.kvklives.com, Dare 2 Be Different International - www.daretobedifferentskn.com and
The Blazing Star Movement - www.theblazingstarmovement.com. Saturday, 19th September, 2015 is upon us
and we send our greetings out NOW.
We have made it to yet
another milestone, but we are certainly not there yet. Our work to building the
most outstanding twin island country in the world continues.
Centuries ago, the struggle for freedom and independence
began. Blacks everywhere wanted full freedom from our oppressors that brought
us from our Motherland Africa to serve all across the Caribbean, including our
twin island Federation as Sugar Plantation SLAVES. Many of us are still very
angry, but I beckon us to learn to forgive.
FORGIVE - FORGIVE -
FORGIVE although we would
NEVER forget. I too believe fully in the
fight for REPARATIONS. IT IS A
MUST AND WE
WILL NOT STOP
OUR CRY UNTIL
COMPENSATION IS PAID
TO US ALL.
From those dreadful days in the 18th century,
anger and resentment, hate and resilience continued to build and build and
build. Our peoples recognized the unfairness, the ill treatment and the
injustices and fought for better. Many lent their brain power, skills,
strategies and voices on platforms, in newspapers and on radio to usher in the
move towards full independence from Britain.
Special honour must be given to the founders of The St. Kitts
– Nevis Labour Party Movement, who, over 80 years ago radically pushed for
better – for change – for FULL FREEDOM.
It was because of stalwarts such as The Right Honourable Robert Llewllyn
Bradshaw, the nation’s 1st Premier and national hero, Sir Paul
Southwell, Joseph Nathaniel France and many others including the WOMEN WHO
WE SO NEED
IN OUR SOCIETY
TODAY, why we are FREE AND FULLY INDEPENDENT - TODAY.
As God would have it, Dr. The Right Honourable Kenendy Simmonds
was handed the mantle through popular vote and led the Federation through to
Independence on 19th September, 1983 under a joint People’s Action
Movement and Dr. Simeon Daniel Nevis Reformation Party Coalition Government.
It has always been a fight – a struggle – a push for better.
More recent leaders such as former Prime Minister Dr. The
Right Honourable Denzil Douglas did much good for the nation. So too did the
Hon. Joseph Parry. Current premier of Nevis. Hon. Vance Amory has done his good
too and continues to serve the people. The newly elected Team Unity Prime
Minister, Dr. Timothy Harris does seem to have good intentions as we watch on
closely and carefully and certainly wish him the very best.
The Godly Blazing Star Movement is bigger than POLITICS. We
will never be so low as not to commend people and parties when they do their
good. WE PROMISE NOT
TO BE POLITICAL
CRITICIZERS ONLY. That doesn’t help
in nation building. We would commend the good and ensure that we
CONSTRUCTIVELY CONTINUE TO
CRITICIZE WITHOUT FEAR OR
FAVOUR in order to continue to build a BETTER FEDERATION
OF ST. KITTS
AND NEVIS.
At age 32, the fight continues and we certainly will not stop
fighting and pushing until our Federation is as close to PERFECT as we can
possibly be.
There are a few critically important issues that I want to
address on this 32nd Independence Anniversary as a youth advocate
and Founder and Leader of The Blazing Star Movement – www.theblazingstarmovement.com
.
1. GUN CRIMES and ALL CRIMES must begin to come to an end from
TODAY. There are those who would suggest that we should just let the streets
clean the streets and that is the only way we’ll rid our nation of the killers.
I do not subscribe to that thinking at all. How foolhardy! I want to suggest
that in order to usher in a change from the current gang and gun culture, we must begin to mould
the minds of our youth from age 0. Many parents and family members are the
cause of why our nation has become so immoral – so criminally minded.
Why? We let our children watch anything. Listen to
everything and let the television babysit them. After allowing this damage to
the youth’s minds, many PARENTS and GUARDIANS then run to the POLICE for help
and blame governments and politicians and the CHURCH for our irresponsible behavior.
QUITE A
STUPID THING TO DO INDEED!
CHANGE in the behavioural culture of our nation’s
youth will only be ushered in when PARENTS
START BEING PARENTS
AGAIN and stop letting the television
and the profane music raise their children. WE
CANNOT BLAME ANYONE
BUT OURSELVES for the path our
children take, especially if we do not guide them from young.
Permit to state here and now that SEX IS
FOR ADULTS. When our nation again
raises its standards and encourages abstinence until youth are of age, then we
wouldn’t have the big problem that we have today, of PREGNANT CHILDREN
giving birth to CHILDREN and wanting to raise decent and respectable
adults. That is very hard and I must commend though, those who recognized the
ERROR OF
THEIR WAY, pulled up their socks
or stockings and DID IT and encouraged
their children to BREAK THE CYCLE.
HURRAY TO YOU!
I must make mention here and in short.. A godly
upbringing is still critically IMPORTANT! I say no more.
Although there are many issues that I would like to touch in
this national, regional and international address on the 32nd Anniverary of Independence
here in The Federation of St. Kitts and Nevis, that I ask of you for forward
around the world to all your friends and family members, permit me to touch on
self empowerment and entrepreneurship.
Our world has changed! If you are focused on going to school,
getting an education and coming out to search for a job, you are disillusioned.
That will be one of the hardest things to do in the next 5 years. Sorry the
next year perhaps.
Jobs will be non-existent thanks to technology and the fast
paced machine world.
I beg you hearing my voice today – BECOME COMPUTER
LITERATE! BECOME COMPUTER
LITERATE! BECOME COMPUTER LITERATE!
In order to make money, one must begin NOW – NOW I SAY
to carve our their own niche market or several niche markets like me, in order
to gain income from one or several income streams.
Do not stay relaxed and feel that because you have 5 or 10 or
15 subject passes that you are special and should be hired. WAKE UP AND
SMELL THE COFFEE. Welcome to the world of REALITY. JOBS
ARE HARD TO
GET. Let me tell you of another truth. Many times, you do not get
through in life by WHAT YOU KNOW, but rather by WHO YOU
KNOW. Stay close to POSITIVE
PEOPLE ALL THE
TIME.
While I am on the issue of MULTIPLE SUBJECT
PASSES and a holder and valedictorian of multiple subjects out of The
Verchilds High School in St. Kitts, permit me again to WAKE YOU
UP.
I am not where I am today because I passed many subjects
alone and did studies online. I am where I am because of my SPECIALIZED SKILLS. NONE
OF WHICH I
LEARNED IN SCHOOL. Many of which I read and watched
videos and taught myself.
I am a t-shirt printer by trade. I build and design websites.
I love marketing. I am a motivational speaker and global travelling preacher. I
play the guitar and piano too. I love to cook. Oh yes I can cook and I am
willing to publicly challenge the best chef in the Federation of St. Kitts and
Nevis. Bring it on! The point: I am where I am because of my SKILLS.
While I certainly do not which to bash any primary,
secondary, tertiary or university that has provided me with educational empowerment
and training, I want to mention here that the education training that I value
most, was the time I spent in the United States of America, my younger brother
and I, learning to use our KVK
ENTERPRISES – www.kvklives.com embroidery
machine. That helps to make us a living! OUR
SKILLS.
I use my many subjects to teach afternoon – evening classes
at my Dare 2 Be Different International Academy, but it is MY SKILLS
THAT MAKE ME A LIVING.
By now, I gather that all youths and adults alike have gotten
this last message on this our 32nd Independence Anniversary in the
Federation of St. Kitts and Nevis. Empower yourself! Get an education, but get
a SKILL OR SKILLS
TOO. Do not set your mind to LOOK
FOR WORK. Set your mind to
CREATE WORK!
May we all be fully focused to ride the tides and waves and
let God fight our battles and calm our storms as we WORK TOGETHER – RISE TOGETHER -
WIN TOGETHER!
Don’t give up! Hope is definitely ahead!
May God Bless you and may God bless The Federation of St.
Kitts and Nevis.
